Check the area around this school
30th 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 4,112 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.9/10 among them, against 5.3/10 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 | 66.0 · 54 | 40% | 2.16 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 7.0 · 51 | 25% | 1.27 |
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 Hunsley Primary
Overview
Hunsley Primary continues to be a good school, offering a positive culture where pupils are sociable, friendly, and enjoy coming to school. Leaders have established high expectations for learning and behaviour, supported by an ambitious curriculum and nurturing relationships between adults and pupils.
Strengths
- Pupils demonstrate high attendance and positive attitudes towards learning, behaving well and responding quickly to instructions.
- The curriculum is carefully planned and ambitious for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), with effective support systems in place.
- Phonics and early reading are taught by well-trained staff, enabling pupils to build secure knowledge and read accurately with understanding.
- Teachers in phonics and mathematics regularly check learning, allowing pupils to build on prior knowledge and fill gaps effectively.
- The school provides a wealth of extra-curricular activities and community engagement opportunities, fostering pupils’ wider development and sense of community.
Areas to improve
- The school should enhance how it checks how well pupils are learning the intended curriculum in subjects beyond phonics and mathematics, as current systems are not fully developed.
- The school should take further action to teach fundamental British values more clearly to deepen pupils’ understanding in this area.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
