About Burnsall Voluntary Aided Primary School

Burnsall Voluntary Aided Primary School holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained across both its most recent inspections. In its 2023 ungraded inspection, the school was confirmed to have remained Good, with leadership and management also rated Good. The most telling academic metric is the Key Stage 2 combined reading, writing and maths expected standard, where 63% of pupils met the benchmark in the 2023/24 results. That figure sits just above the North Yorkshire local authority average of 60%, placing the school in the top half of primary schools nationally, at the 49th percentile. While no pupils reached the higher standard across all three subjects, individual subject results show a more nuanced picture: 75% hit the expected standard in both reading and writing, and 25% achieved the higher standard in reading. Maths scores were slightly lower, with 63% at expected and 13% at the higher level, and an average scaled score of 103.
