Osmotherley Primary School is a small community school, set in the village of Osmotherley, on the edge of the beautiful North York Moors National Park. At our friendly school, all children are welcome and nurtured. It is a happy and safe place to learn, where children thrive and their love of school is reflected in their very high attendance.
