Check the area around this school
146th of 252 primary schools in North Yorkshire we can score, 290 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 — 3.9/10 against 2,557 of them, against 3.5/10 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 | 60.0 · 39 | 40% | 1.56 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 3.0 · 29 | 25% | 0.73 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Hunmanby Primary School overview
How it's doing
In 2024/25, 60.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 3.0% of pupils, against a national median of 7%. Its results are much the same when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so the gap is not explained by intake (3.9 out of 10 against similar schools, 3.5 out of 10 against all schools). Ofsted rated the school Good in June 2024.
Beyond the classroom
Pupils can join the Outdoor Club, Chess Club, Amateur Radio Club, Digital Leaders, Year 4 Art Club, and ECO Team. Sports include gymnastics, netball, and football, while arts and music features the KS2 Choir and KS1 Singing Club. An after-school club is available.
Getting in

What Ofsted said about Hunmanby Primary School
Overview
Hunmanby Primary School is judged as ‘Good’ across all inspection categories. Pupils are described as ‘proud of their school’, ‘safe and happy’, and ‘kind and respectful to each other’. Leaders set ‘high expectations’ for achievement, fostering a calm environment where pupils find lessons ‘exciting and fun’.
Strengths
- The curriculum is ‘broad and ambitious’, with knowledge broken down into ‘well-ordered steps’ from early years to Year 6.
- Reading is a ‘high priority’, supported by a ‘welcoming and well-stocked’ library and daily lessons where adults carefully match books to sounds pupils have learned.
- The mathematics curriculum is ‘well planned’, with teachers regularly recapping previous learning to help pupils remember what they have been taught.
- Pupils develop strong personal development, showing respect for different cultures and gaining an ‘age-appropriate understanding of heathy relationships’.
- Staff feel ‘supported and approachable’ by leaders, and governors have a ‘detailed understanding of the school and its priorities’.
Areas to improve
- Assessment in some subjects, such as science, is ‘not used accurately enough’, causing pupils to be ‘moved on too quickly’ and resulting in ‘gaps in their learning’.
- Support for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) is ‘inconsistent’, meaning the curriculum remains ‘harder for these pupils to access’ in some subjects.
- Reports provided to governors lack sufficient detail, preventing them from ‘check[ing] fully on the impact of the school’s actions’.
Safeguarding
The report states that ‘the arrangements for safeguarding are effective’.
