About Outwood Primary Academy Greystone

Outwood Primary Academy Greystone sits well above the North Yorkshire average for its key stage 2 results, with 84% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a local authority average of 60%. That 24-point gap is significant and places the school in the top 10% nationally for this measure. It also ranks 17th out of 223 primary schools in North Yorkshire, putting it in the top 8% of the county. The school’s maths and reading average scores both sit at 107, which is above the national benchmark of 100, and a higher-than-average proportion of pupils — 42% in maths and 37% in reading and writing — achieved the higher standard. For a relatively small school with 183 pupils, these are strong results that suggest consistent teaching across the core subjects.
