About South Otterington Church of England Primary School

South Otterington Church of England Primary School was rated Good in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2024, a change from its previous Outstanding rating in 2014. The school’s key stage 2 results for 2023/24 tell a mixed story. Half of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which is below the North Yorkshire local authority average of 60%. That puts the school in the bottom half of primary schools in the county, ranking 168th out of 292. However, the picture is more nuanced when you look at individual subjects. In reading, 69% of pupils reached the expected standard and 44% achieved the higher standard, while in maths 50% met the expected level and 25% reached the higher standard. Writing saw 75% of pupils hit the expected standard, though none achieved the higher mark. Average scaled scores were 106 for reading and 102 for maths.
