Scarborough, Northstead Community Primary School
Scarborough, YO12 6LP · North Yorkshire · primary school
192nd 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 — 5.6/10 against 2,146 of them, against 4.6/10 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 | 64.0 · 49 | 40% | 1.97 |
| Ofsted | 3 | 35% | 0.11 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 5.0 · 40 | 25% | 1.00 |
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, 64.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, matching the national median of 64%. Only 5.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school "Requires improvement" in April 2024. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (5.6 out of 10 against similar schools, 4.6 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils access football, rugby, cricket, Rounders, cross-country, tennis, netball, and gymnastics, alongside a drama group. Both a breakfast club and an after-school club are available.
Getting in. The school has 560 pupils in a capacity of 630, leaving 70 spare places. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils to move from the expected standard to the higher standard? What specific actions are being taken to address the "Requires improvement" rating? How do the breakfast and after-school clubs integrate with the main curriculum?
