About Riccall Community Primary School

Riccall Community Primary School was rated Good in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023, a significant improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating in 2010. The school's leadership and management were also judged Good, and the inspection confirmed the school remains on a positive trajectory. When it comes to academic outcomes at Key Stage 2, the most telling metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined: 47% of Riccall's Year 6 pupils achieved this benchmark in the 2023/24 academic year. That figure sits below the North Yorkshire local authority average of 60%, placing the school in the bottom half of primary schools in the area — 182nd out of 223. Nationally, it ranks in the 83rd percentile, meaning roughly 17% of schools nationally scored lower on this measure.
