About The Boyle and Petyt Primary School

The Boyle and Petyt Primary School sits in a tricky spot when you compare its headline KS2 results against the North Yorkshire average for primary schools. While the local authority average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined is 60%, this school’s figure is 42% — a gap of 18 percentage points. That places it 200th out of 292 primary schools in the county, firmly in the bottom half. However, the picture isn’t uniformly weak. In reading, 92% of pupils met the expected standard and 50% reached the higher standard, both well above the typical LA benchmark. Maths also looks healthier, with 83% at expected and an average scaled score of 107. The real drag comes from writing, where only 42% hit the expected level, and just 25% reached the higher threshold. So the school’s overall ranking is pulled down by a single subject, rather than reflecting a school-wide problem.
