About Appleton Wiske Community Primary School

Appleton Wiske Community Primary School sits almost exactly on the North Yorkshire average for its key stage 2 headline measure, with 60% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — matching the local authority average of 60%. That places it 109th out of 292 primary schools in the county, squarely in the middle of the pack. Where the school stands out is in reading: pupils achieved an average scaled score of 108, comfortably above the national benchmark of 100, and 80% met the expected standard. A third of pupils reached the higher standard in reading, a notably strong result. Maths is more mixed — the average score of 104 is solid, but only 13% hit the higher threshold. Writing also shows a gap at the top end, with just 13% achieving greater depth. The school’s overall ranking in North Yorkshire puts it in the bottom half of the county, but the reading results suggest particular strength in literacy that parents of keen readers may want to explore further.
