42nd 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.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 4.5/10 against 4,089 of them, against 4.9/10 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 | 70.0 · 65 | 40% | 2.65 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 34% | 1.78 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 2.0 · 24 | 25% | 0.60 |
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 Endsleigh Holy Child VC Academy
Overview
Endsleigh Holy Child VC Academy continues to be a good school, where pupils and staff demonstrate values of "excellence, harmony and compassion." The inspection found that pupils behave in a "calm and orderly" manner, feel treated equally, and are proactive in charitable fundraising and leadership roles.
Strengths
- The curriculum is carefully planned to build on prior knowledge, with clear support documents mapping key concepts and vocabulary across subjects.
- Early reading is a priority, with consistent phonics teaching and effective interventions resulting in a low number of pupils needing additional support in key stage 2.
- A mastery approach to mathematics has improved pupils’ "rapid recall of key facts" and enjoyment of the subject.
- Staff feel well supported by mentors and the trust, fostering collaboration and shared practice.
- Pupils have many leadership opportunities, such as serving on the school council or as religious education ambassadors.
Areas to improve
- Leaders should ensure there is a mechanism to check the level of ambition for all pupils in the wider curriculum, as evidence of challenge for higher attaining pupils is limited in books.
- The SENDCo should cascade training on writing clearer targets for pupils with special educational needs and disabilities, ensuring these are reflected across the whole curriculum to help pupils make swift progress.
- Teachers should routinely check pupils’ letter formation, which has declined for some pupils following remote learning.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with staff receiving regular training and leaders responding appropriately to recorded incidents.
