Staff
Teachers leaving each year
- Teacher turnover: 21.4% a year (North Yorkshire 17.2%, typical in England 13.9%)
- Where they went: about 100% moved to another school, 0% left state schools altogether (retirement, other careers, independent schools, abroad)
- Data years: 2022/23 to 2024/25 (average of 3 years, DfE school workforce census)
Teachers who moved school or left state schools in the year after each November, as a share of all the school's teachers. Some turnover is healthy – retirements, promotions, moving house. This is a small staff, so one or two teachers leaving moves the figure a lot.
Behaviour
Awaiting Data
Across North Yorkshire: suspensions by reason
- Suspensions for sexual misconduct: 11 (0.3 per 1,000 pupils; England 0.2)
- Permanent exclusions for sexual misconduct: 0
- Suspensions for bullying: 5 (0.1 per 1,000 pupils; England 0.2)
- Suspensions for abuse against sexual orientation or gender identity: 2 (0.0 per 1,000 pupils; England 0.0)
- Data year: 2024/25 (DfE suspensions and exclusions statistics)
These are figures for all state primary schools in North Yorkshire, not this school's own – the government doesn't publish them school by school. A suspension can have up to three reasons. Most sexual harassment between pupils never leads to a suspension, so these figures show only part of the picture.
SEN
No dedicated Unit or Resourced Provision
- Pupils on SEN Support: 1.5%
- Pupils with an EHC Plan: 0.0%
- Data year: 2025/26
Most common needs - SEN Support
- Moderate learning difficulty: 1 pupil
These figures show the makeup of the school.
