About schools in East Riding of Yorkshire
- How many schools are there in East Riding of Yorkshire?
- East Riding of Yorkshire has 158 open schools — 123 primary, 19 secondary, 5 special, 4 nursery, teaching 45,532 pupils in total.
- How many schools in East Riding of Yorkshire are rated Good or Outstanding?
- 124 of the 134 schools holding an Ofsted grade — 93% — are rated Good or Outstanding, including 10 rated Outstanding. That share is measured against graded schools, not all 158: a school inspected since September 2024 has no overall grade at all.
- What is the average Academic Performance in East Riding of Yorkshire?
- 4.8 out of 10, averaged across the 150 schools here that can be scored, where 5 is the national average. Academic Performance combines the Ofsted judgement with DfE attainment and is ranked against comparable schools, so it is neither figure on its own.
- Why do some East Riding of Yorkshire schools have no Ofsted rating?
- 24 schools in East Riding of Yorkshire currently hold no overall grade. Ofsted stopped awarding single-word judgements in September 2024 and moved to a report card of separately graded areas, so schools inspected since then have no overall rating whatever the inspection found. Their profiles show the report card instead.
- What does East Riding of Yorkshire local authority do?
- A local authority is the body responsible for state education in its area — the level most admissions and school-place decisions are made at. East Riding of Yorkshire covers 158 schools and sits in the Yorkshire and The Humber region. It does not run academies or independent schools directly, though it still coordinates admissions for most of them.
- How many pupils in East Riding of Yorkshire are eligible for free school meals?
- 21.2% — 9,371 of 44,296 pupils at the 149 schools that report it. Independent schools file a return with roll and sex only, so they are outside this figure rather than counted as zero.
