21st 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 4,209 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 6.0/10 among them, against 6.7/10 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 | 78.0 · 84 | 40% | 3.36 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 5.0 · 40 | 25% | 1.00 |
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 North Ferriby Church of England Voluntary Controlled Primary School
Overview
The inspection found that adults have "high expectations" of pupils, who are described as "happy" and feeling "safe." The school provides a "well sequenced curriculum" with effective support for reading and pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities. Overall, the school is judged as "Good" across all key areas, including leadership, behaviour, and personal development.
Strengths
- Pupils demonstrate the school’s values of "friendship, courage, perseverance and respect" and are "attentive" in lessons.
- Leaders have an "effective curriculum" for reading, with consistent phonics teaching that helps pupils develop "fluency and confidence."

- Governors and leaders "work well together," with governors having "in-depth knowledge" of improvement priorities.
- The early years curriculum is "organised and logical," with children having "good natured relationships."
Areas to improve
- In some foundation subjects, "activity choices that some teachers choose do not help pupils to learn and remember the intended content."
- Some teachers do not carefully check if pupils have learned and remembered taught knowledge, meaning they do not always "adapt the curriculum" to fill gaps.
- Subject leaders should ensure teachers are supported to make "appropriate pedagogical choices" so pupils achieve their "full potential."
Safeguarding
The report states that "the arrangements for safeguarding are effective," with systems "well embedded" and adults trained to spot vulnerable pupils.
