Gunnerside Methodist Primary School
About Gunnerside Methodist Primary School
Gunnerside Methodist Primary School holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a significant improvement from its previous Requires Improvement judgement. The school’s most recent graded inspection took place in 2012, and a subsequent ungraded inspection in 2023 confirmed it remains Good. Leadership and management were also rated Good. With just 23 pupils on roll against a capacity of 51, this is a very small school where class sizes are inevitably tiny. The school serves a rural community in North Yorkshire and has a Methodist religious character. Its most informative exam metric is the local authority average for Key Stage 2 attainment, which sits at 60. While individual school-level KS2 results are not available in the data, the LA average provides a useful benchmark for parents comparing local primary options.
