Check the area around this school
8th of 14 secondary schools in North Lincolnshire we can score. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 4.5/10 against 823 of them, against 4.0/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.84 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2025/26 | 43.2 · 45 | 30% | 1.35 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | -0.22 · 33 | 25% | 0.83 |
| Attainment 8 2025/26 | 44.7 · 43 | 10% | 0.43 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Baysgarth School overview
How it's doing
In 2024/25, 40.0% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 40.9, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was -0.22 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did worse than those nationally who started from the same place. Its results are much the same when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so the gap is not explained by intake (3.9 out of 10 against similar schools, 3.5 out of 10 against all schools). Ofsted rated the school Good in March 2023.

What Ofsted said about Baysgarth School
Overview
Baysgarth School continues to be a good school, offering an inclusive community where pupils are "well cared for" and relationships are "strong and respectful." Leaders prioritise pupil well-being and have established a clear vision supported by a consistent "Baysgarth learning model" and high-quality teaching.
Strengths
- Pupils are "polite and well mannered," with bullying being "rare" and generally addressed effectively.
- Teachers possess "thorough knowledge" of their subjects, presenting information clearly and using assessment to "close gaps in pupils’ knowledge."
- The curriculum is "well sequenced," ensuring pupils learn essential content, with specific support for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).
- Pupils benefit from a "wide range of enrichment opportunities," including clubs, educational visits, and ‘inspire time’ lessons.
- Leaders have prioritised reading, ensuring all pupils access daily collective reading lessons and that those struggling are identified quickly.
Areas to improve
- The number of pupils, particularly vulnerable ones, receiving suspensions is "too high"; leaders must examine causes and implement strategies to mitigate future suspensions.
- The Year 9 curriculum does not always enable pupils to see how new knowledge builds on previous learning; leaders must ensure connections between key knowledge are clear.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with staff demonstrating detailed knowledge of risks and reporting concerns in a timely manner.
