4th of 18 secondary schools in East Riding of Yorkshire we can score. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to the 890 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 4.4/10 among them, against 5.1/10 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ofsted | 94 | 33% | 3.08 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2025/26 | 40.5 · 39 | 31% | 1.20 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.14 · 60 | 26% | 1.55 |
| Attainment 8 2025/26 | 48.6 · 63 | 10% | 0.65 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
