Duchy College

Before you shortlist Duchy College

The school register lists Duchy College (type: Other independent school; ages 2–18; mixed) in Harrogate.

What the inspection record tells you

This record has no matched Ofsted inspection date. Independent schools may be inspected by ISI or Ofsted; check the school's own inspection page for its latest report. See inspection evidence.

What the admissions figures tell you

No co-ordinated school-offer figures are matched here. Ask the school about its application process, current fees, financial assistance and availability for the year group you need.

Confirm which ages can board and the current boarding arrangements. Use the school website linked above to confirm the latest arrangements.

This summary uses the matched school register, inspection record and dated DfE offers. Source dates and coverage.

Exam results

Independent schools are not comparable in the performance tables. Most enter pupils for international GCSEs, which are not approved qualifications for these measures, so any Attainment 8 figure would be calculated from a fraction of what pupils actually sit. We do not publish one rather than publish a misleading number.

Evidence found

No phase-compatible comparable headline measure is published here.

Source coverage

DfE 2024/25 school performance files, checked by exact URN and establishment type.

What this means

The standard mainstream measure would not support a fair comparison for this establishment.

What this does not mean

The school achieved zero, has no outcomes, or should be read as performing below a mainstream school.

Free school meals, English as an additional language and SEN figures come from the state school census, which independent schools do not report into. Their records return structural zeros rather than measurements, so they are not shown here.

School funding 2025-26 financial year

Not applicable to this state-funded mainstream release.

Evidence found

Not applicable to this state-funded mainstream release; this is not represented as £0.

Source coverage

DfE mainstream-school allocations for running costs for pupils aged 5-16, importer snapshot 23 August 2026.

What this means

The official mainstream allocation release does not provide a publishable row for this establishment.

What this does not mean

The school received no public funding or has no budget; other establishment types and funding streams use different publications.

Allocation is not expenditure. DfE says this release combines the schools block with several other revenue grants and excludes capital spending. Funding is shown for context and is never used in School Facts ordering, peer groups or quality claims. Source, licence and coverage.

Roads and getting there

Traffic volume is the context the collision count needs: a school beside a major road will record more collisions than one on a quiet street without being any less well run.

Every collision reported to the police within 500m of the school over the five years to 2024, from the Department for Transport's road casualty statistics. A high count usually says the school sits on or near a busy road, not that the school is unsafe — counts rise with traffic and with how built up an area is, and a rural school on a fast road may have fewer collisions but a worse one. Distances are straight-line from the school's recorded position.

The area around the school

Indices of Deprivation 2019, for the small area the school stands in. 1 means the most deprived tenth of England, 10 the least. The second measure counts only children living in low-income families, which is the one that describes the intake a school is likely to draw on.
