The Boyle and Petyt Primary School

School overview

The Boyle and Petyt Primary School is a primary school serving Skipton, North Yorkshire, classified by the DfE as a voluntary aided school. It has 83 pupils aged 3 to 11 on roll. 67% of its pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at the end of Key Stage 2, above the national average (national figure: 61%). The proportion reaching the expected standard has risen by 25.0 percentage points year on 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 107 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). The Boyle and Petyt Primary School is oversubscribed: about 8 in 10 of the families who made it their first choice were offered a Reception place for September 2026, with 14 first choices for 12 places. In 2026 the furthest child offered a place lived 5.56 miles from the school in a straight line, according to the council's published allocation figures; the distance changes every year with demand. Overall pupil absence was 4.1%. There are about 18.3 pupils per teacher. Its intake is relatively advantaged, with around 3% of pupils eligible for free school meals in the last six years versus about 24% nationally. The Boyle and Petyt 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.
