Yarborough Academy
Grimsby, DN34 4JU · North East Lincolnshire · primary school
33rd of 43 primary schools in North East Lincolnshire we can score, 49 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 4,192 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.2/10 among them, against 3.1/10 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 | 54.0 · 26 | 40% | 1.04 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 5.0 · 40 | 25% | 1.00 |
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, 54.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 5.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in December 2023. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.2 out of 10 among them, against 3.1 out of 10 nationally.
Getting in. The school has 451 pupils in a capacity of 420, meaning it is over capacity by 31. The school is over its stated capacity, so places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. With the school operating above its stated capacity, how does the admissions process handle new applications for the next academic year? Since the results for 2024/25 are below the national median, what specific strategies are being implemented to improve attainment in reading and maths? How does the school support pupils who are not yet meeting the expected standard in their core subjects?
