About Burton Leonard Church of England Primary School

Burton Leonard Church of England Primary School is a small state primary in the North Yorkshire local authority, with just 87 pupils on its roll. It is one of 16 schools in the LA currently rated Outstanding by Ofsted, a distinction it earned in its most recent graded inspection.

Its top-performing local peers include Eppleby Forcett Church of England Primary School, Sacred Heart Catholic Primary School, and Middleton Tyas Church of England Primary School, all of which achieved higher ranking scores.
