Wawne Primary School

About Wawne Primary School

Wawne Primary School holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained consistently across its two most recent inspections. In its 2022 graded inspection, the school received Good marks across every category assessed, including quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. However, the school’s academic outcomes at Key Stage 2 tell a more challenging story. Just 33% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a local authority average of 61% for similar schools. This places Wawne 102nd out of 123 primary schools in East Riding of Yorkshire, putting it in the bottom half of the LA rankings. The school’s national percentile ranking of 96% (based on the same metric) confirms that its combined expected standard attainment is well below most other primary schools in England.

Digging into the individual subject results from the 2023/24 academic year, the picture is mixed. In reading, 75% of pupils reached the expected standard and 25% achieved a higher score, with an average scaled score of 104. Writing saw 83% of pupils meet the expected standard, though none reached the higher threshold. Maths was weaker: only 42% of pupils achieved the expected standard, and 17% reached a higher score, with an average scaled score of 100. No progress scores are available for any of the three subjects, so it is not possible to say how much value the school adds relative to pupils’ starting points. The school’s overall ranking score of 33 (out of a possible 100) places it 103rd out of 106 primaries in the LA on the combined expected standard metric, and 1454th out of 1506 in the Yorkshire and the Humber region.

Wawne is a small village primary with 99 pupils on roll, just under its capacity of 105. It offers nursery provision for children from age three and has a range of facilities including a forest school, art studios, a gymnasium and a sports hall. The school is oversubscribed for Reception entry in 2025/26, with 14 applications for 8 places and all 8 first-preference applicants receiving offers. It supports pupils with a variety of special educational needs, including dyslexia, moderate learning difficulty, speech and language needs, social and emotional challenges, and physical disabilities. Clubs include drama, art, film, choir, science and eco club, while sports on offer range from netball and football to gymnastics and cross country. This is a school that will suit families who value its Good Ofsted rating and small setting, but who are aware that its academic results at Key Stage 2 are significantly below the local average.
