Norton Community Primary School
About Norton Community Primary School
Norton Community Primary School’s Key Stage 2 results sit just below the North Yorkshire average, but the gap is small enough that most parents would consider it broadly in line with local peers. The local authority average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined is 60%, while Norton’s figure is 58%. That two-point difference places the school 131st out of 292 primary schools in the county, putting it in the middle of the pack rather than at either extreme. Where Norton does nudge ahead is in maths: 78% of pupils met the expected standard, and the average maths score of 105 is solid. Reading is similarly strong, with 77% reaching the expected level and an average score of 106. The real contrast appears at the higher standard — only 4% of pupils achieved the higher benchmark across all three subjects, compared with 28% hitting the higher mark in maths alone. That suggests the school is reliably getting most children to a good baseline but is less consistent at stretching the highest achievers across the board.
