Fairburn Community Primary School

About Fairburn Community Primary School

Fairburn Community Primary School was judged Outstanding in every category during its most recent Ofsted inspection in December 2024, a rating it has now held across two consecutive inspections. The school’s leadership and management, quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and early years provision all received the top grade of 1. This consistency places Fairburn among a select group in North Yorkshire, where only 16 out of 292 primary schools currently hold an Outstanding rating. On the most informative exam metric available, the school’s Key Stage 2 results sit well above the local authority average of 60, reflecting strong academic outcomes across the board. While the school does not publish a specific Progress 8 score, its sustained Outstanding status and above-average attainment suggest pupils are making excellent progress from their starting points. The inspection report praised the school’s ambitious curriculum and the high expectations set by headteacher Emma Cornhill, noting that pupils are confident, articulate, and eager to learn.
