Check the area around this school
98th 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 4,206 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.3/10 among them, against 2.7/10 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 | 59.0 · 37 | 40% | 1.47 |
| Ofsted | 1 | 35% | 0.03 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 0.0 · 10 | 25% | 0.26 |
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 Keldmarsh Primary School
Overview
The report states that the school “requires significant improvement” because it is “performing significantly less well than it might in all the circumstances reasonably be expected to perform.” While safeguarding standards are met and behaviour is generally positive, there are serious concerns regarding the quality of education in the early years and inconsistent teaching across the curriculum.
Strengths
- Safeguarding standards are met, with an “open culture” where concerns are “actively identified, acted upon and managed.”
- Attendance is “in line with that of pupils nationally,” supported by leaders’ “clear oversight” and positive relationships with families.
- Pupils demonstrate a “secure understanding of healthy relationships” and are “well equipped to keep themselves safe online.”
- Mathematics is a strength, with a “clear teaching structure” and outcomes consistently above national averages.
- Pupils enjoy school, feel safe, and value leadership roles such as “sports crew” and “school councillors.”
Areas to improve
- Leaders must develop the quality of early years provision, as the current environment is “not ambitious enough” and children “disengage quickly.”
- Staff should adapt the curriculum so tasks are “well matched to their needs,” particularly for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).
- Leaders need to strengthen oversight of SEND provision and ensure gaps in reading and writing knowledge are addressed swiftly.
Safeguarding
The report confirms that “safeguarding standards are met,” noting that leaders have established an open culture where “pupils are made safer and feel safe.”
