Castleton CofE Primary School
About Castleton CofE Primary School
Castleton CofE Primary School was rated Good in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2024, a rating it has held consistently across both its graded inspections. The school’s overall effectiveness, quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership and management all received a Good grade. With just 16 pupils on roll against a capacity of 44, this is a very small primary school where class sizes are necessarily tiny. The most informative exam metric available is the local authority’s average Key Stage 2 attainment score of 59, against which Castleton’s own results would need to be compared — though the school’s individual KS2 data is not published in this dataset. What is clear is that the school serves a community with above-average disadvantage: 26.7% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, a figure notably higher than the national primary average.
