Threshfield Primary School is located in Threshfield, Skipton and is under the authority of North Yorkshire County Council. We currently hold 86 pupils, plus preschool from the ages of 3 – 11 years old. We are a voluntary controlled school which means we are mainstream school but we also have a body of trustees, due to the historical aspects of the school.
We were founded in 1674 by Matthew Hewitt, for boys from the surrounding areas to attend. There have been two extensions added to the school which means our classrooms are open and modern. Outdoors, the school benefits from a large playground, a playing field, outdoor climbing apparatus and two outdoor areas linked to classrooms which enable free flow learning to take place.
As well as the facilities within the school grounds, we also have access to numerous outdoor walking trails and areas of forestry that our trained staff access with the children. Our main-feeder schools for secondary education are Upper Wharfedale School, Skipton Girls' Grammar School and Erymsted's Grammar School.
