Kirkby Malzeard Church of England Primary School has retained its 'good' rating in an Ofsted report published this week.
Inspectors visited the 90-pupil school, which is between Ripon, Masham and Pateley Bridge, on September 26 for only its second assessment in a decade.
As with the previous one in 2018, the school was judged to be 'good'.
The report said:
Bullying was described as "rare", safeguarding was assessed to be "effective" and the school was described as "calm".
The buddy system, where older pupils mentor younger pupils, was praised for being a good way for pupils to "get to know each other really well".
Some areas in need of improvement at the school, which is federated with St Nicholas Church of England Primary School in West Tanfield, were highlighted.
