Holme Valley Primary School
Scunthorpe, DN16 3SL · North Lincolnshire · primary school
1st of 54 primary schools in North Lincolnshire we can score, 62 in total — the rest without enough published data. 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 — 9.7/10 against 4,239 of them, against 9.5/10 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 | 90.0 · 98 | 62% | 6.00 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 19.0 · 90 | 38% | 3.48 |
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, 90.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. A further 19.0% reached the higher standard. Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so they are not simply a reflection of who attends (9.7 out of 10 against similar schools, 9.5 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join Musical Theatre, Gardening, Nature Detectives, Lego, Reading, Eco Warriors, Arts Award, and Computing clubs. Sports include multi-sports, football, gymnastics, and exercise, while arts and music offer a choir and the HV Dance Crew. Both breakfast and after-school clubs are available.
Getting in. The school has 417 pupils in a capacity of 420, leaving 3 spare places. This means the school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. With only 3 places remaining, how does the school manage the waiting list if a place becomes available? How does the curriculum support the 19.0% of pupils who reached the higher standard to extend their learning further? What specific support is available for pupils who do not reach the expected standard in core subjects?
