Howden School
Goole, DN14 7AL · East Riding of Yorkshire · secondary school
11th 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 the 926 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.0/10 among them, against 3.9/10 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 45.3 · 54 | 46% | 2.48 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | -0.52 · 15 | 38% | 0.58 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 46.2 · 53 | 15% | 0.81 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

How it's doing. In 2024/25, 45.3% of pupils achieved grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 46.2, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was -0.52 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did worse than those nationally who started from the same place. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.0 out of 10 among them, against 3.9 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join Textiles, Choir, Chinese Choir, Homework Club, Library sessions, and the Duke of Edinburgh Award. Sports include Football, Netball, Cricket, Rugby, Rounders, and Athletics. Trips cover live theatre, art galleries, and outdoor adventure activities. An after-school club is available.
Getting in. There are 678 pupils in a school with 710 places, leaving 32 spare places. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils to improve their Progress 8 scores? What specific support is available for students aiming for the Duke of Edinburgh Award? How does the after-school club operate for pupils who need extra help with homework?
