Sherburn Church of England Primary Academy
About Sherburn Church of England Primary Academy
Sherburn Church of England Primary Academy is a small village primary in North Yorkshire, and its most recent Ofsted rating of Inadequate places it well below the local authority average, where 16 out of 292 primary schools are rated Outstanding. The school has just 36 pupils against a capacity of 80, and 45. 5% of them are eligible for free school meals, a figure that signals a high level of disadvantage compared with the county average. The LA average for Key Stage 2 attainment sits at 60, but Sherburn’s own results are not available in the data, making it impossible to say whether pupils are hitting that benchmark. What is clear is that the school has declined sharply since its previous inspection in 2013, when it was rated Good across the board. The current picture shows leadership and management judged Inadequate, with quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, and personal development all requiring improvement. For parents weighing up options, this is a school that has significant ground to make up.
