Melbourne Primary School
York, YO42 4QE · East Riding of Yorkshire · primary school
14th 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 3,689 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 6.8/10 among them, against 7.7/10 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 | 73.0 · 73 | 40% | 2.93 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 15.0 · 84 | 25% | 2.09 |
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, 73.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 15.0%. Ofsted rated the school Good in March 2023. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 6.8 out of 10 among them, against 7.7 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils access dance, gymnastics, swimming, athletics, team games, and music lessons. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 191 pupils in a capacity of 150, meaning it is over capacity by 41. Consequently, places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the high demand for places given the current over-capacity status? What specific support is offered to pupils who do not reach the higher standard in core subjects? How does the absence of a breakfast club affect the morning routine for families?
