Quay Academy
Bridlington, YO16 4LB · East Riding of Yorkshire · primary school
23rd 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 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 8.1/10 against 830 of them, against 6.3/10 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 | 76.0 · 80 | 40% | 3.19 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 4.0 · 35 | 25% | 0.88 |
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, 76.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 4.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in June 2025. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (8.1 out of 10 against similar schools, 6.3 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join the Choir, African Drummers, Gardening Club, String Orchestra, Recorders, and Steel pan band. Sports include gymnastics, dance, athletics, outdoor adventurous activities, and swimming. Arts and music features songwriting and a dance troupe. Trips visit Honeysuckle Farm, Sewerby Hall, the Zoo, Barley Hall, Burton Agnes Hall, the Yorvik Centre, and Nevill Holt Farm. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 312 pupils in a building with 420 places, leaving 108 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 need extra help with reading and writing? What are the specific times for the after-school club? How does the school manage class sizes with 108 spare places?
