About Burnsall Voluntary Aided Primary School

Burnsall Voluntary Aided Primary School is a primary school in Skipton, North Yorkshire, classified by the DfE as a voluntary aided school with a Christian religious character. Around 43 pupils aged 4 to 11 attend the school. In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 86% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — well above the national average of 61%. That marks an improvement of 23.0 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 top 35% of primary schools nationally.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 111 in reading and 105 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). Burnsall Voluntary Aided Primary School was not oversubscribed for September 2026: all 3 families who put it first were offered a place. Overall pupil absence was 6.1%. There are about 17.2 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. Burnsall Voluntary Aided 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.
