About Starbeck Primary Academy

Starbeck Primary Academy was rated Good in its most recent Ofsted inspection in March 2024, a rating it has held consistently across its last two inspections. The school’s most telling exam metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined at Key Stage 2, which stood at 67% in the 2023/24 academic year. That figure sits comfortably above the North Yorkshire local authority average of 60%, placing the school in the top half of primary schools nationally and within the top 40% in Yorkshire and the Humber. Broken down by subject, the school performs strongest in writing, where 79% of pupils met the expected standard, followed by reading at 75%, and maths at 67%. At the higher standard, reading stands out with 38% of pupils achieving it, while maths and writing both sit at 17% and 4% respectively. The average scaled scores of 104 in reading and 102 in maths reinforce a picture of solid, above-average attainment across the core subjects.
