About Markington Church of England Primary & Nursery School

Markington Church of England Primary & Nursery School is a small village primary in North Yorkshire, and its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2024 rated it Good overall, with Outstanding marks for early years provision and for behaviour and attitudes. That’s a strong starting point, but the school’s academic headline metrics are not directly available in the data, so we can’t compare its Progress 8 or KS2 SATs scores against the local authority average of 60. What we do know is that the school has held a Good rating across its recent inspections, having previously been rated Outstanding in 2013. The local authority has 16 Outstanding primaries out of 292 total, so Markington sits in the solidly Good tier, with the nearest Outstanding school being Burton Leonard Church of England Primary School, about 4 km away. For a small school with just 48 pupils against a capacity of 84, this is a respectable position, and the Outstanding early years provision suggests younger children get a particularly strong start.
