Check the area around this school
61st 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 2,153 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.0/10 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 | 50.0 · 19 | 40% | 0.76 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 5.0 · 40 | 25% | 1.00 |
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 Kirk Ella St Andrew's Community Primary School
Overview
The report describes a school where staff care for pupils well and classrooms provide an "ambitious learning environment". Pupils are "eager to learn" and feel safe, with a broad curriculum that prepares them well for the next stage of their education. However, there are concerns regarding the consistent implementation of behaviour policies and the robustness of leaders’ record-keeping.
Strengths
- The curriculum is "broad and ambitious", with leaders identifying key knowledge and vocabulary across all subjects.
- Leaders have prioritised developing pupils’ "love of reading", resulting in most pupils becoming "confident, fluent readers".
- The mathematics curriculum is "well planned", with staff quickly addressing misconceptions through frequent checks.
- Pupils experience an "exceptional physical education curriculum" with a sharp focus on skill acquisition.
- The early years curriculum is well planned, supporting children’s personal, social and emotional development.
Areas to improve
- Leaders must ensure behaviour policies are "understood by staff, pupils and parents" and implemented consistently to address perceived inequality.
- Leaders should further develop "recording and monitoring systems" to allow for a more accurate evaluation of pupils’ behaviour and safety needs.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with staff receiving regular training and reporting concerns in a timely way using well-embedded systems.
