Ofsted: Good · 2024 Inspected 2 years ago Mixed Primary Church of England/Methodist
4.4/10 Broadly average

129th 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.

Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 3.9/10 against 3,085 of them, against 3.9/10 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
MeasurePercentileWeightAdds
Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 57.0 · 32 40% 1.29
Ofsted 52 35% 1.81
Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 7.0 · 51 25% 1.27

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, 57.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared with the national median of 64%. Only 7.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in May 2024. Its position is much the same whether compared with all schools or only those whose pupils have similar backgrounds (3.9 out of 10 either way).

Getting in. The school has 189 pupils in a building with 280 places, leaving 91 spare places. This means the school has real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than it is built for.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who are below the expected standard in literacy? What specific activities are available for pupils during the school day? How does the smaller class size impact individual teaching time?
