Check the area around this school
36th 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 — 4.9/10 against 3,405 of them, against 4.8/10 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 | 63.0 · 46 | 40% | 1.85 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 7.0 · 51 | 25% | 1.27 |
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 Bilton Community Primary School
Overview
Bilton Community Primary School has taken effective action to maintain the standards identified at the previous inspection. The report describes a “caring and welcoming” environment where pupils “live the school values” and “make rapid progress through the curriculum.” Leaders have made rapid improvements despite many being new to their roles, ensuring pupils are well-prepared for their next steps in education.
Strengths
- Pupils “enjoy learning” and “behave well in lessons,” with early years children getting the “best possible start to their education.”
- Teachers possess “strong subject knowledge” and use effective strategies like “flashback 4” questions to help pupils “recall and connect prior learning.”
- Needs of pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are “quickly and accurately identified,” with “precise support” provided, including a bespoke internal resource provision.
- Pupils “develop a love of reading” and “read with expression,” benefiting from “expertly planned phonics lessons” in the early years and key stage 1.
- The school provides a “thorough programme for their personal development,” teaching pupils about fundamental British values, healthy relationships, and staying safe.
Areas to improve
- Support for pupils’ reading skills must consistently identify and correct errors, as some pupils “continue to repeat some of the mistakes they make,” limiting improvement speed.
- The behaviour policy is “relatively new” and not yet fully embedded, leading to “occasional inconsistencies” in how strategies are enacted.
- The school needs to further engage with the community to improve relationships with parents, as some “lack confidence in the school following a recent period of turbulence with leadership.”
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
