About Barmby Moor Church of England Primary School

Barmby Moor Church of England Primary School holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained since its most recent graded inspection in 2012. The school's most recent ungraded inspection in 2022 confirmed it remains Good, with leadership and management also judged Good. On the headline academic measure for primary schools, the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined stood at 50% in the 2023/24 academic year. This places the school below the East Riding of Yorkshire local authority average of 61%, and ranks it 82nd out of 106 primary schools in the area. Nationally, it sits in the bottom 50% of schools on this metric. The school's Progress 8 scores for reading, writing and maths are not available in the data, so it is not possible to say how much value the school adds relative to pupils' starting points.

Looking at individual subjects, reading is the strongest area: 69% of pupils met the expected standard and 25% reached the higher standard, with an average scaled score of 105. In writing, 63% met the expected standard but none reached the higher standard. Maths saw 56% meet the expected standard and 13% reach the higher standard, with an average score of 101. These figures suggest the school's overall combined figure is pulled down by maths and writing performance. The school's Ofsted history shows it was rated Requires Improvement in 2010, with early years provision and leadership and management both requiring improvement at that time. The improvement to Good by 2012 represents a significant turnaround, and the school has held that rating across subsequent inspections.
