Check the area around this school
9th 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.
Narrow the comparison to the 820 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.9/10 among them, against 5.7/10 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ofsted | 19 | 35% | 0.66 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2025/26 | 44.6 · 49 | 30% | 1.47 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.21 · 65 | 25% | 1.63 |
| Attainment 8 2025/26 | 47.6 · 58 | 10% | 0.58 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
The Snaith School overview
How it's doing
In 2024/25, 40.8% of pupils achieved grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 46.3, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was +0.21 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did better than those nationally who started from the same place. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.0 out of 10 among them, against 5.3 out of 10 nationally. The May 2026 inspection used the new report-card framework, which grades areas separately without an overall grade.

What Ofsted said about The Snaith School
Overview
The Snaith School provides an education where pupils achieve well and are generally well prepared for their next steps, with outcomes broadly in line with national averages. The report highlights a strong sense of community, describing pupils as part of ‘the Snaith family’, with calm, purposeful behaviour and high attendance rates. While safeguarding standards are met and inclusion is effective, the report identifies specific areas for development in teaching consistency and the evaluation of personal development provision.
Strengths
- Attendance is strong, with leaders actively tackling barriers and providing individualised support, resulting in a rapid reduction in persistent absence.
- Behaviour is described as ‘calm and purposeful’, with bullying and discrimination not tolerated and pupils showing a strong commitment to learning.
- Inclusion is effective, with staff knowing pupils well and quickly identifying barriers to learning or wellbeing, ensuring needs are ‘generally well met’.
- Staff feel ‘empowered to contribute to the strategic direction of the school’ and value professional learning opportunities, contributing to a positive workplace culture.
- Pupils benefit from a wide range of enrichment activities, including trips and clubs, which help them ‘discover and develop their talents’.
Areas to improve
- Leaders should ensure highly effective teaching, including the skilful use of assessment, is embedded consistently across all subjects and year groups.
- Leaders should ensure pupils, including disadvantaged pupils, consistently achieve well and produce high-quality work across the curriculum.
- Leaders should develop detailed analysis to evaluate the effectiveness of personal development provision, ensuring all pupils benefit fully.
Safeguarding
The safeguarding standards are met, with leaders establishing an open culture where concerns are actively identified and managed, ensuring pupils are made safer and feel safe.
