About Slingsby Community Primary School

Slingsby Community Primary School was rated Good in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2025, a rating it has held consistently across both its graded inspections. The school’s most informative exam metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined at Key Stage 2, which stood at 57% in the 2023/24 academic year. That figure sits just below the North Yorkshire local authority average of 60%, placing the school 135th out of 223 primary schools in the county. Broken down by subject, the strongest result was in writing, where 86% of pupils met the expected standard, followed by maths at 79% and reading at 71%. The school’s average scaled scores were 102 in maths and 104 in reading, both close to the national benchmark of 100. Nationally, Slingsby ranks in the bottom half of primary schools, sitting at the 64th percentile, though within Yorkshire and the Humber it sits slightly higher, at the 62nd percentile.
