Check the area around this school
5th 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.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 9.3/10 against 3,977 of them, against 8.9/10 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 86.0 · 95 | 40% | 3.78 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 14.0 · 81 | 25% | 2.03 |
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 Woodmansey Church of England Voluntary Controlled Primary School
Overview
Woodmansey Church of England Voluntary Controlled Primary School continues to be a good school, confirmed during an ungraded inspection. Leaders have developed a curriculum where all pupils have the chance to succeed, underpinned by Christian values of hope, trust, respect, and compassion. The school benefits from a formal partnership with a larger local primary school, which expands opportunities for pupils and staff.
Strengths
- Leaders provide a "deep, exciting curriculum" that clearly maps out skills, vocabulary, and knowledge from early years to Year 6.
- Pupils are resilient in their reading efforts, with leaders using daily checks to provide targeted phonics support for those who need it.
- Leaders are ambitious for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities, expecting them to achieve the same outcomes as their peers with appropriate scaffolding.
- Staff workload is reduced through sharing ideas, resources, and planning with colleagues from the partner school.
- Governors are committed to the school, conducting annual skills audits to ensure they can effectively challenge and support the school.
Areas to improve
- Subject leaders do not have a clear enough picture of how well the planned curriculum is taught across all ages and phases. Leaders should work with subject leaders to help them check more effectively how the subject curriculum is progressing across the school.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with staff maintaining an "it could happen here" attitude and pupils having clear ways to report concerns, such as the "talk to" box.
