About Hambleton Church of England Voluntary Controlled Primary School

Hambleton Church of England Voluntary Controlled Primary School sits well above the local authority average for its key stage 2 headline measure. In the 2023/24 academic year, 79% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a North Yorkshire average of 60% for primary schools. That gap of 19 percentage points places the school in the top 25% nationally and 28th out of 223 primary schools in the county. The school’s ranking score of 79 puts it comfortably ahead of the typical LA school, though it is still some way behind the top performers in the area, such as Eppleby Forcett Church of England Primary School and Sacred Heart Catholic Primary School, both of which scored 100. For parents weighing up options in North Yorkshire, Hambleton’s results signal a school that consistently outperforms its local peers, without quite reaching the very top tier.
