About Robert Wilkinson Primary Academy

Robert Wilkinson Primary Academy sits in the middle of the pack in York, with 54% of its Year 6 pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined in the 2023/24 academic year. That is eight percentage points below the local authority average of 62% for primary schools, placing the school 33rd out of 47 primaries in the city. The gap is notable but not dramatic, and the school’s overall Ofsted rating of Good, confirmed in a December 2023 inspection, suggests inspectors see solid foundations. Where the school really stands out is in behaviour and attitudes and personal development, both rated Outstanding. That combination — a Good academic rating with Outstanding marks for how children behave and grow as individuals — hints at a school that prioritises character and conduct alongside the core curriculum.
