17th 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 — 9.3/10 against 1,103 of them, against 8.1/10 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 | 75.0 · 78 | 41% | 3.16 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 34% | 1.76 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 17.0 · 87 | 26% | 2.22 |
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 Marfleet Primary Academy
Overview
Marfleet Primary Academy continues to be a good school, described by pupils as ‘an awesome, safe place to learn’. Leaders maintain high expectations and foster a happy, caring environment with strong relationships between staff and pupils. The school has successfully re-established positive behaviour routines and prioritises pupil well-being.
Strengths
- Pupils speak positively about the school, noting it is a ‘happy and caring’ environment where bullying is rare.
- Leaders have made reading a key priority, providing effective phonics training and targeted support for pupils with special educational needs.
- The history curriculum covers a broad range of topics connected well to other subjects, with pupils talking confidently about their learning.
- Staff morale is high, and governors provide effective challenge to leaders, while the multi-academy trust monitors the school effectively.
- The school offers a comprehensive personal, social and health education curriculum and a wide range of enrichment clubs and activities.
Areas to improve
- The curriculum is not sufficiently well planned and sequenced in some subjects, meaning pupils sometimes struggle to make connections in their learning.
- The mathematics curriculum is not well sequenced in all areas, leading to less secure knowledge in aspects such as geometry and measures.
- The roles and responsibilities of the local governing body and trustees are not well understood in some areas, resulting in a lack of clarity around accountability.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with a strong culture of safeguarding at the heart of the school’s work and staff receiving regular training.
