About Thoresby Primary School

When you look at Thoresby Primary School’s headline metrics against the Kingston upon Hull local authority average for primary schools, the picture is mixed. The LA average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined (RWM) is 65%, and Thoresby sits just below that at 60%. That places it 48th out of 69 primaries in the area, in the bottom half of the league table. But the school’s Ofsted rating tells a very different story: it was judged Outstanding in its most recent graded inspection in 2016, and an ungraded inspection in November 2023 confirmed it remains Outstanding. That puts it among just 12 Outstanding primaries in the entire local authority. So while the raw attainment numbers are slightly behind the LA average, the school’s overall quality, as judged by inspectors, is in the top tier locally.
