105th 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 the 3,892 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 0.4/10 among them, against 0.9/10 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 | 40.0 · 8 | 62% | 0.50 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 0.0 · 10 | 38% | 0.40 |
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 Holme-upon-Spalding Moor Primary School
Overview
Pupils are described as happy, with positive and respectful relationships with staff. Leaders have made significant positive changes since the headteacher arrived, creating a culture where staff feel valued and governors are well informed. However, the quality of education and personal development require improvement due to inconsistencies in curriculum sequencing and gaps in pupils’ broader cultural understanding.
Strengths
- Behaviour is good, with high expectations and effective handling of bullying incidents.
- The mathematics curriculum is well-established, with knowledge carefully sequenced to build on prior learning.
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are supported well, including through the new ‘The Den’ provision.
- Early years provision is good, with staff using high-quality talk and books to motivate children.
- Leaders are determined to improve, with robust systems to tackle poor attendance.
Areas to improve
- Curriculum sequencing in some subjects is unclear, leading to gaps in pupils’ knowledge and understanding.
- Phonics teaching needs sharpening, as mistakes are not consistently corrected and some reading books are too difficult.
- The curriculum does not sufficiently broaden pupils’ understanding of protected characteristics, different cultures, and the world beyond their locality.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
