Check the area around this school
31st of 42 primary schools in North East Lincolnshire we can score, 48 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 the 4,023 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.6/10 among them, against 3.5/10 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
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 50.0 · 19 | 40% | 0.76 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 9.0 · 61 | 25% | 1.53 |
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 Enfield Academy of New Waltham
Overview
Enfield Academy of New Waltham continues to be a good school, described as a "friendly and welcoming community" where pupils feel safe and enjoy attending. Leaders have managed a significant increase in pupil numbers well while maintaining a high-quality education and strong relationships between staff and pupils.
Strengths
- The curriculum is "clearly mapped out," with frequent opportunities to revise prior learning, helping pupils remember important knowledge and apply it across subjects.
- Reading is a high priority, with daily phonics lessons and matched books; most pupils read with "increasing fluency and accuracy."
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities are supported well through tailored tasks and effective liaison with parents.
- The new Nursery is an "attractive place for children to play and explore," with adults effectively promoting language and communication.
- Pupils display "positive attitudes to learning" and strong behaviour, aspiring to earn rewards such as the ‘Enfield Emerald’.
Areas to improve
- Staff strategies to support individual pupils in reading are not consistent, preventing some from using phonics knowledge with accuracy.
- The school has not defined how it will measure the impact of its improvement actions, making it difficult for leaders to refine strategies based on informed evaluations.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
