About Giggleswick Primary School

Giggleswick Primary School was rated Good in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2024, a rating it has held consistently across both its recent inspections. The school’s strongest academic metric comes from its Key Stage 2 results for the 2023/24 academic year, where 71% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That figure sits comfortably above the North Yorkshire local authority average of 60%, placing Giggleswick in the top 25% of primary schools in the region. Within the county, it ranks 53rd out of 223 schools, and nationally it sits in the 29th percentile. The school’s ranking score of 71 reflects solid, above-average performance, particularly notable given its small size of just 75 pupils. The Ofsted breakdown shows Good ratings across all categories, including quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership and management, with early years provision also rated Good.
