Check the area around this school
45th of 54 primary schools in North Lincolnshire we can score, 62 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 — 1.3/10 against 2,601 of them, against 1.6/10 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) 2023/24 | 50.0 · 19 | 40% | 0.76 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2023/24 | 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 East Halton Primary School
Overview
East Halton Primary School continues to be a good school, characterised by a ‘small, friendly’ and ‘tight-knit’ community where pupils feel safe and valued. Leaders have introduced an ambitious, well-structured curriculum that is having a positive impact on pupils’ learning, particularly in reading and writing, though some subjects are still in the early stages of implementation.
Strengths
- Pupils are ‘proud to attend’ and benefit from high expectations, achieving standards typical for their age with a ‘good standard of work’.
- The phonics programme is ‘clearly structured’ and a school priority, helping pupils become ‘confident and fluent readers’ who catch up quickly if they fall behind.
- Writing has improved significantly, with a stronger focus on basic skills, handwriting, and extended sentences, supported by effective feedback.
- Personal development is a strength, with pupils taking on active roles and gaining a good understanding of safety and modern British life.
- Staff support pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) effectively, ensuring they learn the same curriculum as their classmates.
Areas to improve
- In mathematics, teachers must use more effective assessment strategies to check pupils’ understanding before independent work, preventing misconceptions from hampering achievement.
- Leaders need to evaluate the impact of new curriculum units in subjects where improvements are still developing, ensuring they monitor what pupils have learned and remembered.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
