Check the area around this school
25th of 252 primary schools in North Yorkshire we can score, 290 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 — 9.1/10 against 3,405 of them, against 8.6/10 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 | 80.0 · 88 | 40% | 3.51 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 15.0 · 84 | 25% | 2.09 |
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 Roseberry Academy
Overview
Roseberry Academy is described as a “happy and welcoming school” where pupils feel “cared for and safe.” The inspection found that leaders have developed an “ambitious” curriculum, particularly in the early years, which is rated as “Outstanding.” Overall, the school provides a high-quality education with strong staff morale and effective safeguarding arrangements.
Strengths
- The early years provision is “exceptionally well-designed,” helping children make a “strong start” with a calm, purposeful environment.
- Reading is a clear priority, with a “consistent approach to teaching phonics” and targeted support for those falling behind.
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are “well supported” and follow the same ambitious curriculum as their peers.
- Staff morale is “extremely high,” with leaders being “considerate of well-being and workload.”
- Pupils enjoy extensive enrichment opportunities, including clubs and leadership roles, fostering personal development.
Areas to improve
- Leaders must do more to prevent the use of “derogatory language” by some older pupils during social time.
- SEND plans require greater precision, as current targets and strategies are “not specific enough” for some teachers.
Safeguarding
The report states that “the arrangements for safeguarding are effective,” noting a “culture of vigilance” where staff receive regular training and work proactively with external agencies.
