70th 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 4,266 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.8/10 among 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 | 65.0 · 52 | 40% | 2.07 |
| Ofsted | 3 | 35% | 0.10 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 6.0 · 45 | 25% | 1.12 |
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 Hook Church of England Primary School
Overview
Hook Church of England Primary School is described as being "at the heart of its community" with staff who know pupils and families well. While behaviour and personal development are rated as good, the overall effectiveness and quality of education require improvement because the curriculum is still in its "early stages" and lacks a coherent sequence in several subjects.
Strengths
- Pupils behave well, are "polite, happy and safe," and bullying is reported as rare.
- Early years provision is effective, with children settling well into "well-established routines" and developing confidence.
- Reading instruction is strong; teachers are well trained in phonics and use assessment to support those needing extra help.
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are "supported well" through adapted curricula and staff training.
- Staff are "extremely positive" about working at the school, and leaders are mindful of staff well-being.
Areas to improve
- The curriculum implementation is inconsistent; leaders must develop it securely so knowledge is "mapped out in a logical manner."
- Teachers do not routinely check prior learning before introducing new content, meaning misconceptions are not quickly addressed.
- Pupils’ knowledge of different faiths and cultures is less developed than other aspects of personal development and requires broadening.
Safeguarding
The report states that "the arrangements for safeguarding are effective."
