Check the area around this school
79th 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 3,405 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 0.8/10 among them, against 1.3/10 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 | 47.0 · 15 | 40% | 0.60 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 0.0 · 10 | 25% | 0.26 |
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 Wawne Primary School
Overview
Wawne Primary School is rated as ‘Good’ across all inspection categories. The report describes a school where pupils feel safe and valued, noting that staff ‘know each individual pupil very well’ and that the environment feels like a ‘big, happy family’. Leaders have successfully improved behaviour and developed an ambitious curriculum, though specific areas regarding assessment and English teaching require further refinement.
Strengths
- Pupils display positive behaviour, treating each other with courtesy; bullying is described as ‘exceptionally rare’.
- The curriculum in English, science, and mathematics is strong, with particular success in early years mathematics and phonics.
- Staff support pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) ‘extremely well’, carefully adjusting teaching methods to meet individual needs.
- The wider curriculum offers enthusiastic pupils opportunities to hone talents in sports, art, and drama clubs.
- Governors actively challenge leaders to make timely improvements and keep a close eye on curriculum development.
Areas to improve
- The curriculum in some subjects lacks sufficient planning for subject-specific concepts, which leaders are currently addressing.
- Pupils’ writing is not as strong as it should be due to an insufficient focus on spelling, punctuation, and grammar (SPaG).
- Current summative assessment approaches do not provide teachers with a detailed picture of how pupils deepen knowledge over time or apply it in different contexts.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with the designated safeguarding lead carefully reviewing concerns and working closely with parents to ensure pupils’ safety.
