About Darley Primary School

Darley Primary School is a small state primary in North Yorkshire, and its headline metrics tell a story of a school that is comfortably above the local average for its type. The most recent Key Stage 2 data shows the school achieving a score of 60, which is exactly in line with the North Yorkshire local authority average for primary schools. That might not sound remarkable, but given that the school has just 86 pupils and a capacity of 116, it is punching at the average level despite its size. More importantly, the school has shown clear improvement over time. In its most recent graded Ofsted inspection, it was rated Good overall, with Good marks for leadership and management and early years provision. That is a significant step up from its previous inspection in 2014, when it was rated Requires Improvement across the board. The school has held a Good rating since at least 2016, and an ungraded inspection in 2020 confirmed it remains Good. For a small village school, maintaining that consistency against the LA average is a solid achievement.
