About Skidby Church of England Voluntary Controlled Primary School

Skidby Church of England Voluntary Controlled Primary School holds a Good rating from Ofsted, confirmed in its most recent ungraded inspection in 2024. But the standout story here is the academic performance. In the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 assessments, every single pupil reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — a perfect 100 per cent. That places the school first out of 106 primary schools in the East Riding of Yorkshire local authority, and 26th nationally out of 13,686 schools. For context, the local authority average for achieving that combined expected standard is just 61 per cent, so Skidby is a clear outlier. The school also performs well on higher standards: 43 per cent of pupils achieved a higher score in reading, and 29 per cent did so in maths. Average scaled scores of 109 in reading and 108 in maths sit comfortably above the national benchmark of 100.
