Bridlington School
Bridlington, YO16 4QU · East Riding of Yorkshire · secondary school
17th 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.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 0.3/10 against 248 of them, against 0.2/10 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 15.2 · 1 | 30% | 0.04 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | -0.96 · 3 | 25% | 0.08 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 30.2 · 1 | 10% | 0.01 |
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, 15.2% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 30.2, against a national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was -0.96 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did worse than nationally matched peers. Its results are much the same when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so the gap is not explained by intake (0.3 out of 10 against similar schools, 0.2 out of 10 against all schools). Ofsted rated the school Good in June 2023.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join Tomorrow’s Leaders, Eco-Club, Pride, and the Combined Cadet Force. Activities include trips to local law courts, debating competitions, beach cleans, tree planting, and visiting members of the local elderly community. An after-school club is available.
Getting in. The school has 881 pupils in a capacity of 1249, leaving 368 spare places. This means the school has real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than it is built for.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils to close the attainment gap with national medians? What specific support is available for students who need extra help in English and maths? How does the after-school club operate for students with varying transport needs?
