Check the area around this school
35th of 42 primary schools in North East Lincolnshire we can score, 48 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 3,353 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 0.8/10 among them, against 2.3/10 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 | 41.0 · 9 | 40% | 0.35 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 6.0 · 45 | 25% | 1.12 |
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 Ravendale CofE Primary School Academy
Overview
The report describes a school with "high ambitions for pupils" where relationships are "strong" and interactions are "caring and nurturing." Leaders have recently implemented curriculum changes that are improving learning, though inconsistencies remain in newer areas. The school is judged as "Good" across all inspection categories.
Strengths
- Reading is a clear priority, with an "effective" approach to teaching that quickly identifies and supports pupils who fall behind.
- Pupils behave well, feel "safe and happy," and benefit from positive behaviour strategies that encourage self-reflection.
- Provision for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) is "prompt and well informed," ensuring effective access to learning.
- Trustees and governors provide "high-quality training" and hold leaders to account, creating a supportive environment for staff.
- Pupils enjoy "enthusiastic" leadership roles, such as ‘Kindness Heroes’, which help them self-regulate and support peers.
Areas to improve
- Assessment processes are not closely linked to curriculum goals, preventing leaders from accurately identifying "misconceptions and gaps in learning."
- The early years curriculum is not sufficiently planned to prepare children for Year 1, leaving some "not as well prepared for their next stage of learning."
- Religious education teaching does not clearly help pupils understand different faiths, resulting in "inaccuracies and misconceptions" about their distinctiveness.
Safeguarding
The report states that "the arrangements for safeguarding are effective."
