East Ravendale CofE Primary School Academy

About East Ravendale CofE Primary School Academy

East Ravendale CofE Primary School Academy’s headline Key Stage 2 results sit well above the local authority average, marking it out as a strong performer in North East Lincolnshire. While the LA average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined is 64%, this school achieved 91% — a significant gap that places it second out of 42 primary schools in the area. That ranking puts it in the top five per cent locally and the top two per cent nationally. The school is also oversubscribed: for 2025/26 entry, it received 21 applications for 16 places, with all 16 first-preference families offered a spot. This level of demand suggests local parents recognise the school’s consistent performance.

Digging into the 2023/24 exam data, the school’s strength is particularly clear in reading. Every single pupil reached the expected standard, and 55% achieved the higher standard — a notably high figure. In writing, again 100% met expectations, with 27% reaching the higher bar. Maths was similarly strong: 91% at expected and 18% at higher, with an average scaled score of 106. The combined higher standard across all three subjects was 9%. Ofsted’s most recent inspection in 2023 rated the school Good across every category — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision — matching its previous Good rating from 2012. The consistency of this judgement, alongside the exam outcomes, paints a picture of a school that delivers reliably strong academic foundations.

The school is a Church of England primary with a nursery, serving 114 pupils from age 3 to 11. Facilities include a library, ICT suite, music rooms, playing fields and a chapel. Sports on offer include football, cricket, gymnastics, swimming and netball, while clubs range from science and eco club to choir, drama and art. SEND provision covers specific learning difficulties such as dyslexia, social, emotional and mental health needs, and hearing impairment. With just 9.3% of pupils eligible for free school meals — below the national average — the school draws from a relatively less disadvantaged intake. For families who prioritise strong core academic outcomes, particularly in reading, and who value a small, church-affiliated setting with a clear track record, East Ravendale is a compelling option.
