Check the area around this school
33rd of 54 primary schools in North Lincolnshire we can score, 62 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 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 4.9/10 against 948 of them, against 3.5/10 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 | 60.0 · 39 | 40% | 1.56 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 3.0 · 29 | 25% | 0.73 |
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 Oasis Academy Henderson Avenue
Overview
Oasis Academy Henderson Avenue continues to be a good school, where pupils are described as "happy and safe." Leaders have implemented changes that are improving achievement through a "new ambitious curriculum," though this is not yet fully reflected in published outcomes.
Strengths
- Pupils benefit from a "strong focus on reading," with a phonics programme that ensures they "read confidently and with understanding."
- The curriculum is "ambitious and well-considered," with trained staff delivering it effectively; in subjects like mathematics, pupils "learn successfully" and produce high-standard work.
- Behaviour management has improved, with adults acting quickly to address issues, resulting in pupils being "highly engaged in all classrooms."
- Pupils access a "rich range of wider opportunities," including educational visits that develop teamwork and leadership, as well as sports and music clubs.
- Attendance is "strong" due to clear absence procedures and proactive leadership, while early years provide a "positive start" with closely matched learning activities.
Areas to improve
- In some subjects, such as geography, pupils do not revisit prior learning enough, meaning they "do not build the depth of knowledge they could."
- Behaviour at lunchtime is not addressed as effectively as in lessons, with incidents that "continue and at times escalate."
- Some pupils lack a strong understanding of healthy and unhealthy relationships, leaving them "not as prepared and empowered as they could be."
Safeguarding
The report states that "the arrangements for safeguarding are effective."
