About Barlow Church of England Primary School

Barlow Church of England Primary School is a small state primary in North Yorkshire, a local authority with 292 primary schools, of which 16 hold an Outstanding rating. The school itself is rated Good, and it sits among a cluster of strong local peers: Eppleby Forcett Church of England Primary School and Sacred Heart Catholic Primary School both achieve the highest ranking score of 100, with Middleton Tyas Church of England Primary School close behind at 95. With just 79 pupils against a capacity of 105, Barlow is a genuinely small school, and its Church of England character gives it a distinct identity within the local landscape. Headteacher Suzanne Keeler leads a mixed-gender intake from age 3 to 11, and the school offers nursery provision. Its most recent Ofsted inspection, in 2019, marked a clear improvement from the previous inspection in 2017, when the school was rated Requires Improvement overall.
