Whitby, YO21 1HY · North Yorkshire · primary school
64th of 252 primary schools in North Yorkshire we can score, 290 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 8.0/10 against 2,232 of them, against 6.6/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 74.0 · 76 | 40% | 3.02 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 7.0 · 51 | 25% | 1.27 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. In 2024/25, 74.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 7.0% reached the higher standard. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (8.0 out of 10 against similar schools, 6.6 out of 10 against all schools). Ofsted rated the school Good in March 2023.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils participate in swimming and can join an after-school club.
Getting in. The school has 211 pupils in a building with 210 places, meaning it is over capacity by 1. Consequently, places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. Since the school is over capacity, how does the admissions process handle new applications? With no breakfast club available, what are the earliest drop-off times for parents? How does the school support pupils who did not reach the higher standard in their most recent assessments?
