About Snainton Church of England Voluntary Controlled Primary School

Snainton Church of England Voluntary Controlled Primary School sits within the North Yorkshire local authority, a large and varied county for primary education. Among the 292 primary schools in the LA, the school ranks 48th, placing it comfortably in the top tier. Its closest peers at the very top of the local rankings include Eppleby Forcett Church of England Primary School, Sacred Heart Catholic Primary School, and Middleton Tyas Church of England Primary School, all of which achieve the highest possible ranking scores. Snainton itself holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained across its two most recent inspections, including the graded inspection in January 2024. The school is a small, state-funded, mixed primary for children aged 4 to 11, with a Church of England religious character. With just 47 pupils on roll against a capacity of 70, it is a genuinely small village school, and 30 per cent of its pupils are eligible for free school meals, a figure that gives some indication of the intake it serves.
