About Selby Community Primary School

Selby Community Primary School sits comfortably above the local authority average for its key stage 2 headline measure, with 70% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with the North Yorkshire average of 60%. That ten-point gap is a meaningful one, and it places the school in the top 25% of primary schools in the county, ranked 56th out of 223. The school also outperforms the LA average in individual subjects: 85% of pupils met the expected standard in both reading and maths, and 73% in writing. At the higher standard, 23% achieved that level in reading and maths, and 20% in writing, though only 5% reached it across all three subjects. These results come from a school with a notably high proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals at 47.8%, which makes the above-average outcomes particularly striking.
