About Wistow Parochial Church of England Voluntary Controlled Primary School

Wistow Parochial Church of England Voluntary Controlled Primary School posts a Key Stage 2 combined reading, writing and maths expected standard score of 61%, which sits just one percentage point above the North Yorkshire local authority average of 60% for primary schools. That places it 107th out of 223 primaries in the county, putting it in the bottom half of schools locally but not far off the middle of the pack. The school's maths average score of 105 and reading average score of 106 are both solid, though the proportion of pupils reaching the higher standard in all three subjects is zero. Where Wistow does stand out is in personal development: Ofsted rated this Outstanding in its most recent graded inspection, and the school has held a Good overall effectiveness rating across both its 2019 graded inspection and its 2024 ungraded inspection, where standards were confirmed as maintained.
