About Greatwood Community Primary School

Greatwood Community Primary School sits well above the local authority average for Key Stage 2 outcomes, with 76% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared to a North Yorkshire average of 60%. That 16-point gap is significant and places the school in the top 25% nationally for this measure. It also ranks 33rd out of 223 primary schools in the county, comfortably inside the top tier. The school’s maths and reading average scores of 107 and 108 respectively are both above the national benchmark of 100, and the proportion of pupils achieving the higher standard in reading (48%) is notably strong. This is a school that consistently outperforms its local peers, and the data suggests academic standards are a genuine strength.
