Goole Academy
Goole, DN14 6AN · East Riding of Yorkshire · secondary school
3rd of 18 secondary schools in East Riding of Yorkshire 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 — 8.7/10 against 856 of them, against 7.6/10 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
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 53.5 · 71 | 30% | 2.14 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.5 · 84 | 25% | 2.10 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 49.9 · 70 | 10% | 0.70 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. In 2024/25, 53.5% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 49.9, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was +0.5 in 2023/24, indicating better progress than pupils nationally who started from the same place. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (8.7 out of 10 against similar schools, 7.6 out of 10 against all schools). Ofsted rated the school Good in 2022.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join music, film, Dungeons and Dragons, unicycling, cookery, Lego Robotics, Battle of the Bands, and Student Leadership Team clubs. They play Rugby Union and compete in Delta Games. Trips include The Deep, a French Christmas Market, skiing in Bardonecchia, and water sports holidays. An after-school club is available.
Getting in. The school has 1261 pupils in a capacity of 1750, leaving 489 spare places. This means the school has real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than it is built for.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who need extra help in English and maths? What specific support is available for students joining the after-school club? How does the school maintain its Good Ofsted rating following the 2022 inspection?
