About Braeburn Primary and Nursery Academy

Braeburn Primary and Nursery Academy in North Yorkshire was rated Good in its most recent Ofsted inspection in May 2025, a clear step up from its previous Requires Improvement rating in 2023. The inspection team judged all five graded areas — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision — as Good. On the most telling academic metric, the school’s Key Stage 2 results for 2023/24 show that 50% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That figure is ten percentage points below the North Yorkshire local authority average of 60%, placing the school 170th out of 223 primary schools in the area. While the school is in the bottom half nationally for this measure, the Ofsted upgrade suggests that teaching and leadership have strengthened since the previous inspection, and the school is now on a more positive trajectory.
