East Whitby Primary Academy

School overview

East Whitby Primary Academy is a primary school serving Whitby, North Yorkshire, classified by the DfE as an academy converter. It has 212 pupils aged 2 to 11 on roll. In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 69% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — above the national average of 61%. That marks an improvement of 19.0 percentage points in the proportion reaching the expected standard on the previous year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it among the top 16% of primary schools in England.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 107 in reading and 106 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 19% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). The school serves a community with above-average levels of disadvantage: about 43% of pupils have been eligible for free school meals in the last six years, compared with roughly 24% nationally — useful context when reading the results above. East Whitby Primary Academy does not currently have a recent graded Ofsted judgement on record (often the case for newer or recently converted schools), so it is worth asking when its next inspection is expected.
