About Thorngumbald Primary School

Thorngumbald Primary School was rated Good in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023, a significant improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating in 2019. The school now holds Good grades across all five inspection categories: quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. On the headline Key Stage 2 measure, 57% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined in the 2023/24 academic year. That sits just below the East Riding of Yorkshire local authority average of 61%, placing the school 62nd out of 106 primary schools in the area. While the combined figure is modest, individual subject results tell a more nuanced story: 79% of pupils reached the expected standard in both reading and maths, and 61% did so in writing. The school’s national ranking on this metric places it in the bottom half of all primary schools in England.
