The Market Weighton School
Market Weighton, YO43 3JF · East Riding of Yorkshire · secondary school
6th of 18 secondary schools in East Riding of Yorkshire we can score. 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 — 4.2/10 against 938 of them, against 4.4/10 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 41.1 · 43 | 30% | 1.29 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.0 · 50 | 25% | 1.26 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 42.6 · 33 | 10% | 0.33 |
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, 41.1% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 42.6, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was +0.0 in 2023/24, meaning pupils did as well as those nationally who started from the same place. Its position is much the same whether compared with all schools or only those whose pupils have similar backgrounds (4.2 out of 10 against similar schools, 4.4 out of 10 against all schools). Ofsted rated the school Good in 2022.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join the Kyokushin Karate Club, Tornadoes Trampoline Club, Rugby Tots, or Little Messys. They also participate in local sports teams and take trips to France, Spain, and Italy. An after-school club is available.
Getting in. The school has 658 pupils in a capacity of 852, leaving 194 spare places. This means the school has real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than it is built for.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils to reach the national median in Attainment 8? What specific support is available for students who need help with their Progress 8 scores? How does the after-school club operate on days when there are no other activities?
