Long Preston Endowed Voluntary Aided Primary School
About Long Preston Endowed Voluntary Aided Primary School
Long Preston Endowed Voluntary Aided Primary School sits comfortably above the North Yorkshire average for Key Stage 2 outcomes, with 83% of its pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a local authority average of 60%. That 23-point gap is significant and places the school in the top 10% of primary schools nationally, ranked 19th out of 223 in the county. The school also performs strongly at the higher standard: 67% of pupils achieved a higher score in reading, 33% in writing and 17% in maths. Average scaled scores of 111 in reading and 108 in maths reinforce the picture of solid academic performance. This is a small Church of England primary with just 52 pupils on roll, and its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2022 judged it Good overall, with leadership and management also rated Good. The previous graded inspection in 2012 had rated the school Requires Improvement, so the upward trajectory is clear.
