Check the area around this school
119th 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.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 4.1/10 against 3,809 of them, against 4.5/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. 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 | 61.0 · 41 | 40% | 1.65 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| 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.

What Ofsted said about Whitley and Eggborough Community Primary School
Overview
Whitley and Eggborough Community Primary School is described as a “welcoming environment” where pupils are “well cared for” and feel safe. The report highlights that the quality of education has “notably improved” since the last inspection, with a “carefully sequenced” curriculum that builds in complexity. Leaders have strengthened teaching practices, ensuring teachers explain new learning clearly and meet the needs of pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities well.
Strengths
- The curriculum is “clearly defined” and “carefully sequenced,” allowing teachers to prioritise important knowledge and deepen pupils’ understanding through discussion.
- Reading is a high priority; staff are “well trained” in phonics, and pupils read with “increasing accuracy and confidence,” enjoying regular opportunities to read for pleasure.
- Pupils demonstrate good behaviour and “respectful and warm” relationships with adults, guided by the school’s ‘CHAS’ values of “caring, helping and sharing.”
- Children in Reception make a “positive start,” supported by established routines and purposeful activities linked to weekly reading texts.
- Leaders promote a culture of “regular attendance,” using data analysis to remove barriers to pupils attending school frequently and punctually.
Areas to improve
- Assessment routines are “in development”; teachers do not consistently use assessment information to adapt teaching or address misconceptions and knowledge gaps.
- Governors receive information that is “not sufficiently detailed,” limiting their ability to hold leaders to account and provide effective challenge.
- Safeguarding records are “not sufficiently detailed” and not recorded consistently well, limiting the school’s ability to identify patterns, trends, and staff training needs.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are “effective,” though the report notes that records of actions taken to mitigate risks are not consistently detailed or maintained across systems.
