About Hookstone Chase Primary School

Hookstone Chase Primary School in North Yorkshire holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a significant improvement from its previous Requires Improvement judgement. The school’s most recent ungraded inspection in November 2024 confirmed that standards are being maintained, with leadership and management also rated Good. When it comes to academic outcomes, the key metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined at Key Stage 2. In the 2023/24 academic year, 55% of pupils achieved this benchmark, which is below the North Yorkshire local authority average of 60%. This places the school 143rd out of 223 primary schools in the county, putting it in the bottom half of the local rankings. Individual subject scores tell a more mixed story: 71% of pupils met the expected standard in reading and 68% in writing, but maths was lower at 66%. The school’s average scaled scores were 104 in reading and 103 in maths, both close to the national average of 100.
