About Linton-on-Ouse Primary School

Linton-on-Ouse Primary School holds a Good rating from Ofsted, following an inspection in 2025 that noted the school had improved significantly since its previous graded inspection. The most telling academic metric is the Key Stage 2 combined reading, writing and maths expected standard: just 38% of pupils reached this benchmark in the 2023/24 academic year, compared with a local authority average of 60% for North Yorkshire. This places the school in the bottom half of primary schools nationally, ranking 210th out of 223 in the local authority. However, the picture is more nuanced when you look at individual subjects. Every single pupil met the expected standard in writing, and 63% did so in reading, with 38% reaching the higher standard in reading and writing alike. Maths was the weaker area, with only 38% meeting expectations and an average scaled score of 97. The school's small size — just 58 pupils on roll — means these percentages can shift dramatically from one cohort to the next.
