Cambrai Primary School
About Cambrai Primary School
Cambrai Primary School stands out sharply against the North Yorkshire local authority average for primary schools. While the LA average for Key Stage 2 attainment sits at 60, Cambrai’s most recent Ofsted inspection in 2024 awarded it the highest possible grade of Outstanding across every single category — quality of education, personal development, behaviour and attitudes, leadership and management, and early years provision. This is a school that has achieved a clean sweep of top marks, something only 16 out of 292 primary schools in the authority can claim. With just 177 pupils against a capacity of 210, it is a deliberately small school, and that intimacy seems to serve it well. The school’s headteacher, Laura Robinson, leads a setting where 15.8 per cent of pupils are eligible for free school meals, slightly above the national average, yet the school’s outcomes suggest no compromise on standards.
