About The Snaith School

The Snaith School’s headline Progress 8 score of 0.21 places it well above the East Riding of Yorkshire local authority average of -0.13 for secondary schools, a gap of 0.34 that marks it out as a notably stronger performer than most of its neighbours. This positive score means pupils here typically achieve nearly a quarter of a grade more per subject than the national average, while the LA average suggests many other local schools are pulling in the opposite direction. The school ranks 4th out of 18 similar schools in the area, placing it in the top quarter locally, and sits in the top 50 nationally for Progress 8. Its Attainment 8 score of 46.7 is also solid, with 68% of pupils achieving a grade 4 or above in English and maths, and 39.3% hitting the higher grade 5 benchmark. The school’s EBacc average point score of 4.11 and 42.1% entry rate show a reasonable push towards the full suite of academic subjects, though the 18% achieving grade 5 or above in both English and maths within the EBacc is a more modest figure.
