About Stakesby Primary Academy

Stakesby Primary Academy was rated Good in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023, a rating it has held consistently across both its recent inspections. The school’s strongest academic indicator comes from its Key Stage 2 results for the 2023/24 year, where 68% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That figure sits comfortably above the North Yorkshire local authority average of 60%, placing Stakesby in the top half of primary schools in the county. In the local authority rankings, it sits 66th out of 223 schools, putting it in the top 30% of its peers. The school also performs well on the higher standard: 14% of pupils reached the higher benchmark across all three subjects, with reading and maths both seeing 27% of pupils achieving at that level. Writing was close behind at 23%. Average scaled scores of 106 in reading and 103 in maths suggest solid, consistent teaching across the core subjects.
