Sicklinghall Community Primary School
About Sicklinghall Community Primary School
Sicklinghall Community Primary School is a small state primary in the North Yorkshire local authority, serving just 41 pupils aged 4 to 11. It sits within a competitive landscape of 292 primary schools across the county, where only 16 currently hold an Outstanding rating from Ofsted. While the school itself is rated Good overall, its local peers include Eppleby Forcett Church of England Primary School and Sacred Heart Catholic Primary School, both of which achieve the highest possible ranking score of 100 in local context data, alongside Middleton Tyas Church of England Primary School at 95. Sicklinghall’s modest size — well under its capacity of 84 — gives it an intimate feel, and its mixed gender, non-religious character means it draws families from a broad catchment. Headteacher Zoe Ellis leads a school that, despite its small roll, offers a surprisingly wide range of facilities including a chapel, gymnasium, music rooms, library and playing fields.
