Common questions

Which is the best primary school in Ripon?

By 2024/25 exam results alone, Outwood Primary Academy Greystone ranks first of 11 ranked primary schools in Ripon, with 80% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths. Results reflect each school's cohort as well as its teaching, so treat the ranking as a starting point rather than a verdict.

How are schools in Ripon ranked?

Primary schools are ranked by the share of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths in 2024/25, from the Department for Education's published results. Ofsted judgements are never part of the ranking, because inspections from different eras cannot fairly be compared, and special and independent schools are not ranked because their published figures do not compare fairly.

How many primary schools are ranked in Ripon?

11 primary schools in Ripon published 2024/25 results and are ranked here. Schools without published results, special schools and independent schools are listed on the area's own page instead.

Exam results come from the Department for Education's school performance service and cover the 2024/25 academic year. Schools without published results for that year are not listed.
