Otley and Witnesham are both wonderful village schools, providing a high quality education for all our pupils. We are smaller than average village schools, lucky enough to be set in very spacious grounds with incredible outdoor areas!

"A Home Away From Home"

We've been blown away by the family feel at Otley Primary. The staff are always approachable and the facilities are amazing. Our child loves attending the after-school clubs and the Christingle service was a highlight. We can't recommend this school enough!

"A Mixed Experience"

We moved our child to Otley Primary a year ago, and while the staff are lovely and the facilities are great, we've had some issues with communication and consistency. The after-school clubs have been a highlight, and our child has made some wonderful friends. Overall, we're glad we made the move, but there's room for improvement.

"Exceptional Education"

We were a bit hesitant about moving to a smaller school, but Otley Primary has exceeded our expectations. The teachers are dedicated and passionate, and the outdoor areas are a joy to explore. Our child is thriving and we feel so grateful to be a part of this community.
