About Little Weighton Rowley Church of England Voluntary Controlled Primary School

Little Weighton Rowley Church of England Voluntary Controlled Primary School sits within the East Riding of Yorkshire local authority, where it ranks 9th out of 106 primary schools on the key stage 2 expected standard measure — comfortably inside the top 10% of its local peers. The three highest-ranked schools in the area are Skidby Church of England Voluntary Controlled Primary School, St Martin's Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School in Fangfoss, and Walkington Primary School, all of which sit above it in the local rankings. With just 62 pupils on roll against a capacity of 91, this is a small village school with a Church of England character, led by headteacher Susie Varley. It offers nursery provision for children from age 2, making it a natural choice for local families looking for an all-through primary option in a rural setting.
