Check the area around this school
28th of 111 primary schools in East Riding of Yorkshire we can score, 123 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to the 3,480 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 4.0/10 among them, against 5.7/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 64.0 · 49 | 40% | 1.97 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 11.0 · 71 | 25% | 1.77 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

What Ofsted said about Acre Heads Primary School
Overview
Acre Heads Primary School continues to be a good school, providing a caring environment where pupils are "very happy to belong." Leaders have successfully reviewed and improved the curriculum design, ensuring high expectations for learning and behaviour. The school fosters positive relationships, with pupils behaving very well and bullying being "very rare."
Strengths
- Pupils enjoy an "exciting curriculum" brought to life through trips, visiting speakers, and hands-on experiences like ‘STEM’ fortnight.
- A "well-planned reading curriculum" ensures children start reading early, with teachers closely matching books to ability and providing individual support for those needing extra practice.
- In mathematics, pupils "build logically" on prior learning, developing strong problem-solving skills and the ability to explain their reasoning confidently.
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) receive "good-quality support" to access similar learning opportunities as their peers.
- The provision for wider development is a strength, with pupils engaging in pupil groups, debates on global issues, and showing respect for differences.
Areas to improve
- Systems to check what pupils know and can remember are not embedded in all subjects, meaning leaders lack a comprehensive understanding of progress in some areas.
- Leaders should ensure subject leaders are supported to use effective systems to check pupil knowledge, memory, and skills in every subject of the curriculum.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with leaders placing a high priority on keeping pupils safe and ensuring staff are up-to-date with safeguarding information.
