About Thorpe Willoughby Community Primary School

Thorpe Willoughby Community Primary School sits slightly below the North Yorkshire local authority average for its key stage 2 headline measure. While the LA average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined is 60%, Thorpe Willoughby’s figure is 53%. That places the school 152nd out of 292 primary schools in the county, putting it in the bottom half of the local league table. The gap is modest but consistent across individual subjects: 71% of pupils met the expected standard in reading (compared with a typical LA figure that would be higher), 74% in writing, and 58% in maths. At the higher standard, just 8% of pupils achieved the combined benchmark. These results suggest a school where most children are making solid progress but where fewer than average are reaching the top tiers of attainment.
