About Rawcliffe Primary School

Rawcliffe Primary School holds a Good rating from Ofsted following its most recent inspection in 2025, but the detail behind that grade tells a more nuanced story. The school’s key academic metric is its Key Stage 2 combined reading, writing and maths expected standard score, which sits at 47 per cent. That is notably below the East Riding of Yorkshire local authority average of 61 per cent, placing Rawcliffe 86th out of 123 primary schools in the area. In the broader Yorkshire and the Humber region, it ranks in the bottom 20 per cent of schools. While the school’s average reading and maths scores are close to the national benchmark at 103 and 102 respectively, the proportion of pupils reaching the higher standard in those subjects is low, with no pupils achieving higher in writing. The Ofsted report itself notes that early years provision requires improvement, though leadership, behaviour, personal development and the quality of education are all rated Good.
