Check the area around this school
64th 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 — 2.3/10 against 2,197 of them, against 2.4/10 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 | 57.0 · 32 | 40% | 1.29 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 0.0 · 10 | 25% | 0.26 |
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 Boynton Primary School
Overview
Boynton Primary School is described as a "warm, inviting and welcoming school" where pupils feel "safe and happy" and are proud to be part of the "Boynton family". The inspection confirms that the school continues to be good, with leaders demonstrating determination to raise expectations and improve outcomes following recent changes.
Strengths
- Behaviour is "excellent", with pupils enjoying learning and reporting that there is "no bullying".
- The school has implemented "rigorous improvements to the curriculum", particularly in reading, creating a positive "buzz" through a new library and diverse book choices.
- Safeguarding arrangements are "effective", and robust systems are now in place to identify and support pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).
- Parents value the "wide range of school clubs and enrichment activities" that help pupils understand the world beyond the school.
- Leaders actively seek external advice, resulting in "rapid" improvements and a clear understanding of next steps.
Areas to improve
- In some subjects, the curriculum is at an "early stage of development", meaning staff lack sufficient subject knowledge or effective pedagogy to address misconceptions.
- Staff require better support to "adapt and scaffold learning" for pupils with SEND to ensure they achieve their potential without lowered expectations.
- Pupils’ attendance is "too low", with significant numbers missing school for minor issues or term-time holidays, which hinders progress.
Safeguarding
