About Barton Church of England Primary School

Barton Church of England Primary School is a small state primary in the North Yorkshire local authority, serving just 34 pupils from ages 3 to 11. It sits at rank 217 out of 292 same-type schools in the area, placing it in the bottom half of the local league table. For context, the top-performing peers nearby include Eppleby Forcett Church of England Primary School and Sacred Heart Catholic Primary School, both of which achieved a perfect ranking score of 100, followed by Middleton Tyas Church of England Primary School on 95. Barton’s own ranking score of 33 reflects a challenging starting point, but the school’s most recent Ofsted inspection in 2022 rated it Good across all five categories, including quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, and leadership. This marks a clear improvement from its previous inspection in 2015, when the school was graded Requires Improvement. With a Church of England character and a headteacher in Kirstie Petch, the school offers nursery provision and a distinctly small-scale setting.
