25th of 70 primary schools in Kingston upon Hull, City of we can score. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 8.8/10 against 452 of them, against 7.0/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

What Ofsted said about Lift Green Way
Overview
The Green Way Academy has taken effective action to maintain the standards identified at the previous inspection. Pupils speak of the school with pride, benefiting from warm relationships and a broad, ambitious curriculum that ensures they are happy and safe. The school continues to provide high-quality education with strong teaching and clear learning sequences.
Strengths
- Pupils behave extremely well, following established routines and showing respect for peers and teachers.
- Teachers possess strong subject knowledge, explain concepts clearly, and regularly check understanding to address misconceptions.
- Reading is a high priority, with highly focused phonics lessons and expert support for those who struggle.
- Children in Reception thrive in a supportive environment, developing confidence and independence through play-based learning.
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) access the same ambitious curriculum with expert support.
Areas to improve
- The school’s initiatives to improve attendance are not having the intended impact, leaving some disadvantaged and SEND pupils with poor attendance and knowledge gaps.
- Pupils do not have a secure, age-appropriate understanding of fundamental British values, particularly democracy, meaning they are not fully prepared for life in modern Britain.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
