About St Robert's Catholic Primary School, A Voluntary Academy

St Robert's Catholic Primary School sits comfortably above the North Yorkshire average for its key stage 2 outcomes, with 70% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a local authority average of 60%. That ten-point gap places the school in the top quarter of primary schools across the county — ranked 57th out of 292 — and within the top third nationally. The school's reading results are particularly strong: 92% of pupils met the expected standard and 54% achieved the higher standard, well above typical figures. Maths also performed well, with 82% at expected and an average scaled score of 106. Writing was the weakest of the three core subjects, with 76% at expected and 20% at the higher level, but still above the LA average. The school's overall Ofsted rating is Good, following a graded inspection in November 2023. That represents a change from its previous Outstanding rating in 2009, though the current inspection judged quality of education, personal development, behaviour and attitudes, and leadership and management all as Good.
