Morton-on-Swale is a large village and civil parish in the Hambleton district of North Yorkshire, England. It lies on the A684 road about 4 miles west of Northallerton. It is very close to the village of Ainderby Steeple. As the name suggests it lies on the River Swale and there is also a railway line running along the Northern edge, which runs between Northallerton and Redmire which used to continue on through Hawes all the way to the Settle to Carlisle Railway at Garsdale railway station.
Notwithstanding its name, this school is situated on Station Lane, Morton-on-Swale. The school, under Head teacher Miss Fiona Lloyd, educates around 80 pupils aged 4–11. Following an inspection in December 2007, Ofsted rated the school Good, Grade 2 on a four point scale.
The Ofsted report said "Pupils progress well to reach well above average standards in English and mathematics by the end of Year 6, but achieve less well in science. The school provides high quality personal care and support, particularly for pupils with learning difficulties and/or disabilities. Ainderby Steeple enjoys a positive reputation within the local community. Good leadership and management by the headteacher and staff provide firm direction for the school and highlight its good capacity for further improvement."[1]
