Check the area around this school
7th 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 — 8.8/10 against 3,864 of them, against 8.4/10 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 | 86.0 · 95 | 40% | 3.78 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 10.0 · 66 | 25% | 1.65 |
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 Springhead Primary School
Overview
Springhead Primary School continues to be a good school, characterised by strong relationships where "no one is invisible" and families feel part of the "Springhead family." The school provides a calm, stimulating environment with an ambitious curriculum that aims to "ignite ambition" in pupils, ensuring they enjoy success across all areas of learning.
Strengths
- The curriculum is "well-thought-through" and blends pupil needs with community interests, giving children "a great start in life."
- Reading is embedded in daily routines, with staff bringing books to life and offering texts that "challenge stereotypes."
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are supported effectively, learning and growing alongside their peers without barriers.
- Behaviour is of a "high standard," allowing uninterrupted learning, with staff swift to "calm the situation" when necessary.
- Early years provide a purposeful environment where children thrive through meaningful interaction and exploration.
Areas to improve
- In some subjects, the curriculum does not ensure pupils retain and apply "advanced, subject-specific vocabulary appropriately," limiting their depth of understanding. The school should embed this vocabulary to further develop subject knowledge.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
