Goole, DN14 5UE · East Riding of Yorkshire · primary school

Ofsted: Good · 2023 Inspected 3 years ago Mixed Primary
2.7/10 Below average

81st 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.

Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 1.3/10 against 1,648 of them, against 1.4/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 39.0 · 8 40% 0.30
Ofsted 52 35% 1.81
Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 2.0 · 24 25% 0.60

Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

Get to know the school

How it's doing. In 2024/25, 39.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 2.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in May 2023. Its results are much the same when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so the gap is not explained by intake (1.3 out of 10 against similar schools, 1.4 out of 10 against all schools).

Getting in. The school has 221 pupils in a capacity of 292 places, leaving 71 spare places. This means the school has real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than it is built for.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who are below the expected standard in core subjects? What specific activities or clubs are available to engage students outside of lesson time? How does the school plan to maintain its Good rating following the 2023 inspection?
