Fylingdales Church of England Voluntary Controlled Primary School

School overview

Fylingdales Church of England Voluntary Controlled Primary School is a primary school serving Whitby, North Yorkshire, classified by the DfE as a voluntary controlled school with a Church of England religious character. It has 60 pupils aged 4 to 11 on roll. In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 40% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — well below the national average of 61%. That is down 31.0 percentage points in the proportion reaching the expected standard on 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 107 in reading and 103 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 7% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). Fylingdales Church of England Voluntary Controlled Primary School was not oversubscribed for September 2026: all 6 families who put it first were offered a place. Overall pupil absence was 3.1%. There are about 20.0 pupils per teacher. Fylingdales Church of England Voluntary Controlled Primary School does not currently have a recent graded Ofsted judgement on record (often the case for newer or recently converted schools), so it is worth asking when its next inspection is expected.
