About Easington CofE Primary Academy

Easington CofE Primary Academy is a small Church of England primary in the East Riding of Yorkshire that, based on its most recent admissions data, is not oversubscribed. For the 2025/26 intake, the school offered its single available place to the one family who applied, giving an oversubscription ratio of exactly 1.0. This suggests that for parents considering the school, securing a place is straightforward, though it also reflects the school's very small size — with just 26 pupils on roll against a capacity of 119. ParentView data is not available in the school's records, so there is no direct recommendation percentage to report from families currently using the school. However, the school's recent Ofsted inspection in November 2024, which judged it Good across all graded areas including behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and quality of education, provides a strong independent signal of quality. The school also has a nursery provision, making it an option for families with children from age three.

Academically, the school has shown clear improvement. Its previous Ofsted inspection in May 2022 rated it as Requires Improvement overall, with a score of 3 in quality of education, early years provision, personal development, and leadership and management. The most recent inspection in November 2024 upgraded all these areas to Good (score 2), with behaviour and attitudes also rated Good. This represents a significant turnaround in just over two years. While the school's specific Key Stage 2 SATs results are not published in this data, the local authority average for KS2 attainment across East Riding of Yorkshire primary schools is 61 percent. Given the school's small cohort size, individual pupil results can vary considerably year on year, but the Ofsted improvement trajectory suggests that teaching and leadership are now on a solid footing. The school does not have a sixth form, as it is a primary, and its religious character is Church of England, which may appeal to families seeking a faith-based setting.

In practical terms, Easington CofE Primary Academy offers a range of facilities including an ICT suite, music rooms, a gymnasium, sports hall, and a chapel. Sports provision covers football, netball, rounders, cricket, swimming, cross country, and gymnastics, while extracurricular clubs include science, art, choir, gardening, drama, and chess. The school supports pupils with moderate learning difficulties, social, emotional and mental health needs, and speech, language and communication needs, making it a potentially good fit for families whose children require targeted SEND support in a small, familiar environment. With 42.3 percent of pupils eligible for free school meals, the school serves a community with above-average disadvantage, and its small size means children receive a high level of individual attention. This school will suit parents who value a close-knit, rural Church of England primary with strong recent Ofsted outcomes and a calm, improving atmosphere, rather than a large, oversubscribed urban school.
