Check the area around this school
48th 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 4,266 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.1/10 among them, against 4.3/10 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 | 53.0 · 24 | 62% | 1.48 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 12.0 · 74 | 38% | 2.84 |
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 Leconfield Primary School
Overview
Leconfield Primary School is described as a “close-knit and inclusive” community where pupils feel welcome and safe. The report highlights that most pupils achieve well in assessments and enjoy a broad, well-planned curriculum that prepares them effectively for secondary education. However, inconsistencies in support for specific groups of pupils and quality assurance processes require attention.
Strengths
- Pupils are part of a supportive community that celebrates diverse backgrounds, including links to the nearby military base.
- Teachers possess “good subject knowledge” and deliver structured lessons that help pupils retain knowledge and use subject-specific vocabulary confidently.
- The curriculum is “fully inclusive” and has been improved to offer greater depth in subjects like art and writing.
- Reading is a clear priority, with a “well-structured phonics scheme” and initiatives like ‘resident reader’ engaging parents and governors.
- Safeguarding arrangements are “effective,” and pupils feel safe, trusting adults and understanding how to stay safe online.
Areas to improve
- Staff must consistently identify and correct misconceptions regarding sounds and transcription in early key stage 1 to prevent delays in mastering these skills.
- Provision for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) needs to be more consistent to ensure they receive the “precise support they need.”
- Quality assurance processes must be fully developed and embedded to address inconsistencies across the school’s provision.
Safeguarding
The report states that “the arrangements for safeguarding are effective.”
