About Sidmouth Primary School

Sidmouth Primary School’s headline KS2 results sit just below the Kingston upon Hull local authority average, with 57% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths against an LA average of 65%. That eight-point gap places the school 52nd out of 69 primary schools in the authority, putting it in the bottom half of local primaries. The school’s ranking score of 57 also lands it in the bottom 50 nationally. However, the picture is more mixed when you dig into individual subjects: writing is a relative strength, with 71% of pupils meeting expectations, while maths (67%) and reading (65%) are closer to the LA norm. The proportion reaching the higher standard in all three subjects is just 4%, and higher-attaining pupils are more likely to excel in maths (22%) and reading (22%) than in writing (6%). So while the school isn’t outperforming its local peers overall, it’s not a straightforward underperformer either — writing results in particular are solid.
