Schools in Malton

Rillington extends the southern residential boundaries.

A market town of small independent shops and compact retail streets, Malton is bisected by the River Derwent at the commercial heart of North Yorkshire. Malton and nearby Norton draw families competing for state school places, both forming among the area's most school-competitive communities. The Derwent once formed the historic boundary between the North and East Ridings; today it separates Malton's retail heart to the west from Norton's railway station and food-manufacturing industries to the east. Regional rail serves York and beyond, underpinning a resident population of around 6,300.
