12th of 70 primary schools in Kingston upon Hull, City of we can score. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 8.0/10 against 1,641 of them, against 6.6/10 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

|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 77.0 · 82 | 40% | 3.28 |
| Ofsted | 96 | 35% | 3.37 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 5.0 · 40 | 25% | 1.00 |
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 Collingwood Primary School
Overview
Pupils receive an “exceptional education” and “flourish” in a school characterised by high expectations and caring relationships. The report describes an “extremely ambitious and carefully constructed curriculum” that ensures pupils are well prepared for secondary school, with leaders providing strong support for staff and families.
Strengths
- Pupils behave “exceptionally well” and demonstrate a “mature attitude towards resolving conflict” through weekly coaching groups.
- The curriculum is “extremely ambitious,” with teachers ensuring knowledge “deepens over time” and gaps in learning are addressed quickly.
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities are supported “exceptionally well” to access the same ambitious curriculum as their peers.
- Reading is prioritised effectively, with “well established and consistent” phonics teaching helping pupils, including those starting with little English, to read fluently.
- Personal development is “exemplary,” fostering tolerance, diversity, and a “strong sense of moral purpose.”
Areas to improve
- In Reception, adults sometimes miss opportunities to develop vocabulary and meaningful learning, with children moving quickly between activities without showing “high levels of concentration.”
Safeguarding
