Check the area around this school
111st 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 — 0.1/10 against 4,063 of them, against 0.5/10 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 | 25.0 · 2 | 40% | 0.07 |
| Ofsted | 3 | 35% | 0.10 |
| 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 Burton Pidsea Primary School
Overview
Pupils at Burton Pidsea Primary School are described as "happy and safe," benefiting from "positive and nurturing" relationships. However, the school’s high ambitions are not fully met because the curriculum "requires further refinement" and some teachers lack sufficient subject knowledge.
Strengths
- Pupils demonstrate "positive attitudes to their learning," behaving well and showing "high levels of respect."
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities are "supported well" and access the same curriculum as their peers.
- Early years provision is "Good," with children being "confident and independent" and prepared well for the next stage.
- Leaders are "deeply committed" to pupil outcomes, and staff well-being is prioritised.
- Attendance improvements are having "positive results" through collaboration with external agencies.
Areas to improve
- Staff require "subject-specific training" to ensure they have the knowledge necessary to deliver the curriculum effectively.
- Newly introduced curriculum plans in some subjects are not yet embedded, meaning pupils do not yet retain the "key knowledge."
- Pupils have "limited understanding of faiths and cultures represented in modern Britain" and need richer opportunities to learn about them.
Safeguarding
The report states that "the arrangements for safeguarding are effective."
