Easingwold School is a mixed 11-18 community school in Easingwold, North Yorkshire, England. It is a comprehensive school, and had 972 pupils in 2016, including the on-site sixth form. The school is currently in special measures following a 2016 Ofsted inspection that rated the school as inadequate for overall effectiveness.
The school's current headteacher is Rob Pritchard, who heads an interim leadership team.
The school moved to its current larger site in 1954 and became a mixed, comprehensive school. The previous school site now houses Easingwold Primary School. In 1994 the Europa Block was added to the school to increase the number of classrooms available, specifically for languages. Since then a new maths block, science block and separate Sixth Form block have been added to the school grounds.
In October 2016, Ofsted published an inspection report that found the overall effectiveness of Easingwold School to be Inadequate. The school was subsequently placed into special measures, with Headteacher Phil Benaiges removed from his post and replaced by Rob Pritchard as Interim Executive Headteacher.
In April 2017, it was announced the school would reopen as an academy in September 2017, sponsored by Outwood Grange Academies Trust.
