About Settle Church of England Voluntary Controlled Primary School

Settle Church of England Voluntary Controlled Primary School was rated Good in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023, a rating it has held consistently across both its graded inspections. The school’s most informative exam metric is the Key Stage 2 combined reading, writing and maths expected standard, where 45% of pupils met the benchmark in the 2023/24 academic year. This places the school below the North Yorkshire local authority average of 60%, and ranks it 185th out of 223 primary schools in the county, putting it in the bottom half of schools regionally and nationally. While the combined figure is modest, individual subject results tell a more nuanced story: 81% of pupils reached the expected standard in writing, and 58% did so in reading, with maths at 55%. Higher-attaining pupils were strongest in reading, where 32% achieved the higher standard, compared with 10% in writing and just 6% in maths.
