Bacon Garth Primary School
Cottingham, HU16 5BP · East Riding of Yorkshire · primary school
49th 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.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 4.1/10 against 2,975 of them, against 4.0/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. 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 | 62.0 · 44 | 40% | 1.74 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 4.0 · 35 | 25% | 0.88 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. In 2024/25, 62.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 4.0% reached the higher standard. Its position is much the same whether compared with all schools or only those whose pupils have similar backgrounds (4.1 out of 10 against similar schools, 4.0 out of 10 against all schools). Ofsted rated the school Good in September 2024.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils play football, dodgeball, netball, benchball, and rounders. Trips include visits to Yorkshire Wildlife Park, Dalby Forest, Murton Park, the English Civil War Centre in Newark, Bempton Cliffs, and Humber Forest School. Both breakfast and after-school clubs are available.
Getting in. The school has 235 pupils in a capacity of 236 places, leaving 1 spare place. This means the school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. With only 1 place remaining, how does the school manage admissions if a child leaves mid-year? How does the curriculum support pupils who are not reaching the higher standard? What specific support is available during the breakfast and after-school clubs?
