Check the area around this school
34th 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 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 5.8/10 against 2,600 of them, against 4.9/10 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 | 73.0 · 73 | 40% | 2.93 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 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 Flamborough CofE (VC) Primary School
Overview
The report describes a school where "adults have high expectations of what pupils will learn" and pupils are "happy and feel safe." Leaders have established a "well-sequenced curriculum" with strong subject knowledge, resulting in consistent early reading provision and positive behaviour. The inspection concludes that the school is effective, with governors and leaders working well together to support improvement.
Strengths
- A "well-sequenced curriculum" is in place across all subjects, with teachers choosing tasks that help pupils "remember key knowledge."
- Early reading is delivered with consistency; pupils "learn to read quickly" and are motivated by a celebration of reading across the school.
- Pupils behave well, are "respectful to adults and each other," and have a clear understanding of bullying, which they say "does not happen."
- The personal, social, health and education curriculum supports well-being, with pupils valuing reflection and engaging in community activities.
- Attendance has improved due to systems developed with local partners, and "most parents speak highly of the school."
Areas to improve
- Leaders must ensure teachers "purposefully check what pupils know across the breadth of the curriculum," as current systems do not address gaps in foundation subjects.
- Leaders should ensure teachers are trained to set appropriate tasks so that pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) "access the curriculum as well as their peers."
Safeguarding
The report states that "the arrangements for safeguarding are effective," with staff trained to identify risks and comprehensive checks in place for all adults working in or visiting the school.
