Ofsted report card · 2026 Lowest area: Expected standard Mixed Primary Church of England
5.0/10 Broadly average

93rd of 253 primary schools in Lincolnshire we can score, 280 in total — the rest without enough published data. 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 — 8.2/10 against 2,661 of them, against 7.2/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

Get to know the school

How it's doing. In 2024/25, 74.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 10.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in April 2026. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (8.2 out of 10 against similar schools, 7.2 out of 10 against all schools).

Getting in. The school has 696 pupils in a capacity of 698 places, leaving just 2 spare places. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.

Worth asking on a visit. With only 2 places remaining, how does the school handle waitlists for new starters? Since the inspection was recent, what specific improvements have been made since the last review? How does the school support pupils who do not reach the higher standard in core subjects?
