About schools near Skipton
This page gathers the 60 nearest schools to the centre of Skipton, closest first. The closest is Embsay Church of England Primary School, about 2.1 miles away in a straight line. Some sit under a neighbouring town or local authority, because distance does not follow administrative boundaries.
Every school here is inspected by Ofsted. Follow any school for its inspection history and, where results have been published, its exam performance.
