Located in Selby, North Yorkshire, North Duffield Community Primary School is a primary school, classified by the DfE as a community school. The school educates roughly 115 pupils aged 4 to 11. Ofsted judged the school to be 'Good' at its most recent inspection. 60% of its pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at the end of Key Stage 2, broadly in line with the national average (national figure: 61%). The proportion reaching the expected standard has fallen by 2.0 percentage points compared with the previous year, though small year groups can make these figures swing sharply from year to year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the lower half of primary schools nationally.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 105 in reading and 101 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). Getting a place is straightforward: for the September 2026 intake every family who made North Duffield Community Primary School their first choice was offered one of its 14 Reception places. Overall pupil absence was 4.1%. There are about 19.8 pupils per teacher. Its intake is relatively advantaged, with around 12% of pupils eligible for free school meals in the last six years versus about 24% nationally. Given the recent dip in results, it may be worth asking the school what is behind the change and what is being done in response.
