About schools near Whitby
This page gathers the 25 nearest schools to the centre of Whitby, closest first. The closest is Sleights Church of England Voluntary Controlled Primary School, about 1.2 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. Distances are measured in a straight line from the centre of Whitby, so a school that is close by road may fall a little further down this list; to see only the schools listed under Whitby itself, open its schools page.
