Nun Monkton Primary Foundation School
About Nun Monkton Primary Foundation School
Nun Monkton Primary Foundation School punches well above the local average when it comes to Key Stage 2 outcomes. In the 2023/24 academic year, 86% of its pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a North Yorkshire local authority average of just 60%. That gap of 26 percentage points is striking for a small village primary with only 38 pupils on roll. The school also excels at the higher standard: 29% of children achieved greater depth in all three subjects, while 71% hit the higher mark in reading alone. These results place Nun Monkton in the top 5% of primary schools nationally and rank it 13th out of 292 similar schools in North Yorkshire. It is a genuinely high-performing school, and its outcomes suggest a focused, academically ambitious approach that belies its modest size.
