About Scarborough, Overdale Community Primary School

When you compare Scarborough, Overdale Community Primary School’s headline metrics against the North Yorkshire local authority average for primary schools, the picture is mixed. The LA average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths (RWM) at Key Stage 2 is 60 per cent, but Overdale’s figure sits at 40 per cent — a gap of 20 percentage points. That places the school in the bottom 50 per cent nationally, ranking 208th out of 223 primaries in North Yorkshire and in the 93rd percentile regionally. However, the school’s individual subject scores tell a slightly different story. In maths, 60 per cent of pupils met the expected standard, exactly matching the LA average, and the average maths score of 102 is solid. Reading and writing expected rates are lower, at 47 per cent and 63 per cent respectively, but the proportion of pupils reaching the higher standard in any of the three subjects is very small — just 3 per cent in RWM combined. So while the headline figure lags behind, the maths performance is in line with the local norm.
