Check the area around this school
47th 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 — 0.4/10 against 3,750 of them, against 0.8/10 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 | 38.0 · 7 | 40% | 0.27 |
| 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 Eastoft Church of England Primary School
Overview
Pupils are “very happy to belong” to this school, where relationships are positive and expectations for learning and behaviour are high. The inspection found that leaders are ambitious for pupil achievement, having made improvements since the last inspection, particularly in early reading. The school provides a “warm and welcoming” environment where pupils develop independence and respect for others.
Strengths
- The early years environment is “inviting and well organised,” with a clear focus on phonics that helps most pupils become “fluent readers by the end of Year 2.”
- In mathematics, pupils “build logically on what they learn each year” and are encouraged to explain their reasoning and develop problem-solving skills.
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities are “well supported” through close collaboration with external agencies and tailored support plans.
- Behaviour is positive, with pupils responding well to the school’s policy and earning rewards; bullying is described as “very rare.”
- Staff feel it is a “privilege to work at the school,” supported by a strong team culture and effective governance.
Areas to improve
- Curriculum plans in a small number of subjects, including history and writing, do not ensure that pupils in mixed-aged classes “build on what they learned during the previous school year,” resulting in lower standards than expected.
Safeguarding
The report states that “the arrangements for safeguarding are effective.”
