Hilderthorpe Primary School

Bridlington, YO15 3PP · East Riding of Yorkshire · primary school

Ofsted report card · 2026 Lowest area: Needs attention Mixed Primary
1.8/10 Well below average

100th 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 — 3.1/10 against 1,027 of them, against 2.4/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

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, 57.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 0.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in January 2026. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (3.1 out of 10 against similar schools, 2.4 out of 10 against all schools).

Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join Lego, nature, reading, book, computing, and singing clubs. Both breakfast and after-school clubs are available.

Getting in. The school has 331 pupils in a building with 509 places, leaving 178 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 are below the expected standard in maths? What specific activities take place during the breakfast and after-school clubs? How does the school maintain its Good rating while managing such a large number of spare places?
