Dishforth Church of England Voluntary Controlled Primary School
About Dishforth Church of England Voluntary Controlled Primary School
Dishforth Church of England Voluntary Controlled Primary School holds a Good rating from its most recent graded inspection in 2019, and an ungraded inspection in December 2024 confirmed that standards are being maintained. The school’s most telling academic metric is its Key Stage 2 combined reading, writing and maths expected standard, which 62% of pupils achieved in the 2023/24 academic year. That figure sits just above the North Yorkshire local authority average of 60%, placing the school 100th out of 223 primary schools in the area. In reading, 77% of pupils reached the expected standard and the average scaled score was 103, while in maths 69% met the expected standard with an average score of 100. The proportion of pupils reaching the higher standard in reading was 8%, and 15% did so in maths, though no pupils reached the higher standard in writing or the combined measure.
