Fishtoft Academy
Boston, PE21 0SF · Lincolnshire · primary school
142nd 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 — 4.7/10 against 1,255 of them, against 3.4/10 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 | 64.0 · 49 | 40% | 1.97 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| 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.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. In 2024/25, 64.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, matching the national median of 64%. Only 0.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in April 2024. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (4.7 out of 10 against similar schools, 3.4 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join Lego, colouring, crafts, and board game clubs, participate in sporting activities, and attend both breakfast and after-school clubs.
Getting in. The school has 70 pupils in a school with 70 places. This means the school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who do not reach the higher standard in their core subjects? With the school at full capacity, what is the process for securing a place if a sibling is already enrolled? How does the recent Good inspection influence current teaching strategies for the 2024/25 cohort?
