About Copmanthorpe Primary School

Copmanthorpe Primary School holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it maintained in its most recent ungraded inspection in 2023. The school’s most telling academic metric is its Key Stage 2 combined reading, writing and maths expected standard, which sits at 64% of pupils. That figure is a touch above the York local authority average of 62%, placing the school 25th out of 47 primary schools in the area. While not among the top tier — Knavesmire, Lord Deramore’s and Ralph Butterfield all score higher — Copmanthorpe is solidly in the middle of the pack, performing better than roughly half its local peers. The school’s previous graded inspection, back in 2014, also rated it Good overall, with leadership and management judged Good too. Its earlier 2006 inspection had awarded Outstanding, so the trajectory has been one of steady, if slightly more measured, quality.
