Check the area around this school
89th 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 4,240 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 0.2/10 among them, against 0.8/10 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 | 38.0 · 7 | 40% | 0.27 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 0.0 · 10 | 25% | 0.26 |
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 Roos Church of England Voluntary Controlled Primary School
Overview
The report describes a school where the guiding principles of ‘together we care, learn and shine’ are ‘lived out by the pupils and staff’. Pupils are ‘happy and feel safe’, displaying a ‘focused attitude to learning’ and ‘calm manner’. Leaders and staff form a ‘tight-knit, caring team’ with ‘high expectations’ that support pupils to achieve well, particularly in core subjects.
Strengths
- An ‘effective reading programme’ ensures ‘almost all pupils are developing into confident, fluent readers’, with staff providing ‘effective extra help’ to those falling behind.
- Early years provision is strong, with leaders prioritising ‘communication and language skills’ and nurturing ‘curiosity’, resulting in ‘particularly strong progress’.

Areas to improve
- Curriculums in science and some foundation subjects are ‘not sufficiently well planned’, requiring further work to ensure ‘consistency of implementation’.
- Curriculum planning does not ‘consistently well’ build on early years knowledge; leaders must ensure the curriculum is ‘fully sequenced’ from early years to Year 6.
- Older pupils who are less confident in reading ‘do not have access to suitable resources’ to continue supporting their reading journey.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are ‘effective’, with suitable checks, regular training, and proactive work with external agencies ensuring pupils receive necessary help.
