Located in Harrogate, North Yorkshire, Hampsthwaite Church of England Primary School is a primary school, classified by the DfE as a converter academy with a Church of England religious character. The school educates roughly 176 pupils aged 3 to 11. In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 64% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — broadly in line with the national average of 61%. That is down 11.0 percentage points in the proportion reaching the expected standard on the previous year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the top 26% of primary schools nationally.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 108 in reading and 107 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 16% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). Hampsthwaite Church of England Primary School was not oversubscribed for September 2026: all 20 families who put it first were offered a place. The council's own allocation figures show the last child offered a place for 2025 lived 7.12 miles away in a straight line — that distance is not a fixed catchment and moves each year. Overall pupil absence was 4.2%. There are about 28.4 pupils per teacher. Its intake is relatively advantaged, with around 11% of pupils eligible for free school meals in the last six years versus about 24% nationally. Hampsthwaite Church of England 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.
