About St Peter's Brafferton Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School

St Peter's Brafferton Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School sits in a local authority where the average Key Stage 2 score for primary schools is 60, but the school's most recent Ofsted inspection in 2025 rated its overall effectiveness as 'Not judged' — a technical outcome that makes direct headline comparison tricky. What is clear from the inspection breakdown is that the school received 'Requires improvement' for quality of education, early years provision, and leadership and management, while behaviour and attitudes and personal development were both graded 'Good'. That split is unusual: the school is performing well on the pastoral and behavioural fronts but struggling to match the academic standards of its North Yorkshire peers. With just 99 pupils on roll against a capacity of 105, it is a small village primary where the headteacher, Sarah Anderson, leads a Church of England setting that also offers nursery provision for children aged two and above.
