Check the area around this school
87th 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.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 0.4/10 against 2,894 of them, against 0.8/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. 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% | 1.82 |
| 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 Sigglesthorne Church of England Primary Academy
Overview
This ungraded inspection confirms that Sigglesthorne Church of England Primary Academy has “taken effective action to maintain the standards identified at the previous inspection.” The school, previously judged good for overall effectiveness, continues to provide a high-quality education where pupils are “happy and safe” and achieve well. Leaders have successfully sustained a positive culture and rigorous academic expectations since the last graded inspection in 2019.
Strengths
- Pupils are “happy and safe,” behaving well and demonstrating kindness and resilience through activities like the pupil parliament and residential trips.
- Reading and oracy are high priorities, with a well-delivered phonics programme ensuring pupils learn to read “fluently and accurately.”
- The curriculum is “well-sequenced,” allowing pupils to revisit previous learning and build knowledge effectively, particularly in mathematics.
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) “achieve well,” supported by adapted teaching and innovative resources such as QR codes.
- Staff workload and well-being are considered, and staff “enjoy working here,” benefiting from shared leadership and training within the trust.
Areas to improve
- In a small number of curriculum areas, key knowledge and vocabulary are not precisely identified, leading to gaps in pupils’ understanding; the school should ensure these are clearly defined and taught.
Safeguarding
The report states that “the arrangements for safeguarding are effective.”
