20th 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 3,535 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 5.7/10 among them, against 7.0/10 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 | 75.0 · 78 | 42% | 3.23 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 32% | 1.69 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 8.0 · 57 | 26% | 1.48 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
