About East Whitby Primary Academy

East Whitby Primary Academy is a state primary school in the North Yorkshire local authority, a large county with 292 primary schools where just 16 hold an Outstanding rating from Ofsted. The school itself ranks 159th out of 223 primaries in the LA on the key stage 2 expected standard measure, placing it in the bottom half of local schools. For context, the top-performing peers in the area include Eppleby Forcett Church of England Primary School and Sacred Heart Catholic Primary School, both of which achieved the highest possible ranking score of 100, followed by Middleton Tyas Church of England Primary School on 95. East Whitby’s ranking score of 50 places it some distance behind these leaders, though its position reflects a specific metric rather than the full picture of what the school offers its 212 pupils aged 2 to 11.
