Our School

Goathland Primary School is an attractive and dynamic school catering for children aged from 3 to 11. Originally built in the 1800s and extended in the 1970s, the school building is beautifully situated in the midst of stunning moorlands, yet only a few minutes’ drive from the main A169 Whitby to Pickering road.

Our small school, in a unique location with experienced, dedicated staff, is a wonderful place for children to grow and learn. Children are known as individuals and staff build excellent relationships with families. The combination of high expectations and individual nurturing means that children are inspired to do their best, resulting in great educational outcomes and happy children.
