Thoresby Primary School
, HU5 3RG · Kingston upon Hull, City of · primary school
15th of 70 primary schools in Kingston upon Hull, City of 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 — 6.6/10 against 3,596 of them, against 6.2/10 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.
