About schools in Yorkshire and The Humber

How many schools are there in Yorkshire and The Humber?
Yorkshire and The Humber has 2,390 open schools — 1,777 primary, 326 secondary, 115 special, 26 nursery, teaching 851,268 pupils in total.
How many schools in Yorkshire and The Humber are rated Good or Outstanding?
1,800 of the 1,949 schools holding an Ofsted grade — 92% — are rated Good or Outstanding, including 175 rated Outstanding. That share is measured against graded schools, not all 2,390: a school inspected since September 2024 has no overall grade at all.
What is the average Academic Performance in Yorkshire and The Humber?
4.9 out of 10, averaged across the 2,222 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 Yorkshire and The Humber schools have no Ofsted rating?
441 schools in Yorkshire and The Humber 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.
Which local authorities are in Yorkshire and The Humber?
Yorkshire and The Humber contains 15 local authorities, including Barnsley, Bradford, Calderdale, Doncaster, East Riding of Yorkshire, Kingston upon Hull and 9 more. Most admissions and school-place decisions are made at that level rather than regionally.
How many pupils in Yorkshire and The Humber are eligible for free school meals?
28.7% — 235,987 of 823,057 pupils at the 2,210 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.
