39th 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 3,930 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.0/10 among them, against 4.6/10 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 | 64.0 · 49 | 40% | 2.00 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 34% | 1.78 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 5.0 · 40 | 25% | 1.02 |
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 Cherry Burton Church of England Voluntary Controlled Primary School
Overview
Cherry Burton Church of England Voluntary Controlled Primary School continues to be a “good school,” characterised by a “friendly, family atmosphere” where pupils feel welcome and supported. Leaders have strengthened the educational offer since the last inspection, particularly in curriculum oversight and provision for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). While relationships are strong and staff are trusted, the report identifies specific areas regarding curriculum clarity, early reading resources, and behaviour management that require refinement.
Strengths
- Pupils describe the school as “friendly and inclusive,” with strong relationships between staff and pupils and effective support for mental health and well-being.
- The curriculum is “considerate of what pupils need,” with clear foundational knowledge in early years and effective teaching in subjects like mathematics.
- Pupils with SEND “achieve well” and “thrive in school” due to thoughtful adaptations and high ambitions from leaders.
- Governors provide “important challenge” through precise questioning and regular visits, demonstrating a clear understanding of education quality.
- Teachers are skilled at anticipating difficulties, explaining ideas clearly, and addressing errors “there and then.”
Areas to improve
- Leaders must ensure curriculum plans in foundation subjects like history and design technology clearly identify “substantive knowledge” and how it links across year groups.
- Early reading books must be “precisely matched” to pupils’ phonics knowledge, with staff using consistent segmenting and blending strategies.
- Teachers should deal with low-level disruption “quickly and consistently” to prevent distractions from hindering pupils’ work.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are “effective,” with leaders making “swift and informed decisions” to support vulnerable pupils and working well with external agencies.
