Check the area around this school
77th 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.
Narrow the comparison to the 4,277 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 0.8/10 among them, against 1.8/10 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 52.0 · 22 | 40% | 0.88 |
| 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 Brough Primary School
Overview
Brough Primary School continues to be a good school, characterised by a culture built upon "respect and kindness" where relationships are "warm and caring." Pupils feel safe, trust adults, and demonstrate enthusiasm for their learning within a calm and ordered environment.
Strengths
- Relationships are strong, with a "sense of family and community" and older pupils role-modelling good manners.
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) receive "bespoke support" and access the same curriculum as their peers.
- Behaviour is managed consistently, with clear routines that help pupils feel safe and trust that adults are fair.
- Leaders are ambitious, and recent curriculum work is helping pupils build knowledge over time, such as connecting history topics across year groups.
- Governors actively support and challenge leaders, ensuring staff workload and well-being are monitored.
Areas to improve
- Systems to identify specific weaknesses in phonics knowledge are "not precise enough," meaning some pupils do not catch up in reading quickly.
- The school needs to better understand the impact of its actions on attendance, as current evaluations do not sufficiently inform next steps to improve rates.
- Subject leader checks in some areas are not sufficiently focused on the progress of specific groups of pupils.
Safeguarding
The report states that "the arrangements for safeguarding are effective."
