Ofsted: Requires improvement · 2024 Inspected 2 years ago Mixed Primary Church of England
2.3/10 Below average

90th 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 2,767 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.4/10 among them, against 3.4/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

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

How it's doing. In 2024/25, 50.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 8.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school "Requires improvement" in May 2024. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.4 out of 10 among them, against 3.4 out of 10 nationally.

Getting in. The school has 126 pupils in a capacity of 140, leaving 14 spare places. This means the school has a little room, but is fairly full.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school plan to improve attainment in maths to match the national median? What specific steps are being taken to address the "Requires improvement" rating from the 2024 inspection?
