About Kettlesing Felliscliffe Community Primary School

Kettlesing Felliscliffe Community Primary School is a small village primary in North Yorkshire that, on the surface, looks like a very different proposition from the county average. With just 42 pupils on roll against a capacity of 70, it is a genuinely intimate setting where every child is known. The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection in 2024 gave it a Good rating overall, but the standout headline is that inspectors judged both Behaviour and Attitudes and Personal Development as Outstanding. That is a stronger personal development rating than many larger primaries achieve, and it suggests a school where children’s character and wellbeing are given as much weight as academic progress. The school is oversubscribed for the 2025/26 intake, with 8 applications for just 4 places, and 3 of those were first preferences. That level of demand in a small community school tells you that local families see something special here, even if the raw numbers are tiny compared to the LA’s 292 primary schools.
