About Hunton and Arrathorne Community Primary School

Hunton and Arrathorne Community Primary School holds a Good rating from its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023, a grade it has maintained since its previous inspection a decade earlier. The inspection report reveals a school with notable strengths: early years provision, personal development, and behaviour and attitudes were all judged Outstanding. However, the school’s headline exam metric tells a more nuanced story. At Key Stage 2, only 45% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which is significantly below the North Yorkshire local authority average of 60%. This places the school in the bottom half of primary schools nationally, ranking 186th out of 223 in the local authority. The data suggests that while the school excels in creating a positive environment, academic outcomes in core subjects are an area of focus.
