Mixed Primary
7.3/10 Above average

15th 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 — 8.6/10 against 1,691 of them, against 7.3/10 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
MeasurePercentileWeightAdds
Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 72.0 · 71 62% 4.35
Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 13.0 · 78 38% 2.98

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, 72.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 13.0% reached the higher standard. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (8.6 out of 10 against similar schools, 7.3 out of 10 against all schools).

Getting in. The school has 218 pupils in a building with 210 places, meaning it is over capacity by 8. The school is over its stated capacity, so places are competitive.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the daily routine with 8 more pupils than its official capacity allows? What support is available for the 13.0% of pupils who reached the higher standard to continue their progress? How does the school ensure every child feels included when the student body exceeds the physical space designed for them?
