About Hampsthwaite Church of England Primary School

Hampsthwaite Church of England Primary School’s Key Stage 2 results comfortably outpace the North Yorkshire average for primary schools. While the local authority average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined sits at 60%, Hampsthwaite achieves 75% — a significant 15 percentage point gap. This places the school in the top 25% nationally for this metric, and 34th out of 223 primary schools in the county. The school is also heavily oversubscribed: for its 20 Reception places in 2025/26, it received 53 applications, with 22 first-preference requests for those 20 spots. That level of demand suggests local parents see it as a strong option, and the data backs that up.
