Check the area around this school
46th of 54 primary schools in North Lincolnshire we can score, 62 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 0.9/10 against 2,013 of them, against 1.1/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 43.0 · 11 | 40% | 0.42 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 0.0 · 10 | 25% | 0.26 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

What Ofsted said about Brigg Primary School
Overview
Brigg Primary School continues to be a good school, where pupils thrive and feel proud of their community. The report highlights strong relationships, high expectations for behaviour, and an ambitious curriculum that supports all learners, including those with special educational needs.
Strengths
- Pupils demonstrate strong values of "respect, determination and self-belief" and feel safe, with staff effectively addressing bullying.
- Early reading is a particular strength, with staff expertise ensuring pupils become "fluent readers quickly" through well-matched books and regular checks.
- Mathematics provision is praised, as pupils show "high levels of confidence" and carefully select resources to solve problems.
- Adults "skilfully support pupils with SEND," making careful adaptations to ensure success and providing well-designed pastoral support for families.
- Staff workload is managed positively, with leaders taking account of it when introducing change and offering professional development opportunities.
Areas to improve
- In subjects like religious education and geography, some activities do not allow pupils to demonstrate understanding effectively, leading to insecure knowledge or misconceptions.
- The school should ensure teachers plan activities that support pupils in learning the "most important key knowledge more securely."
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
