80th of 252 primary schools in Lincolnshire we can score, 279 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 — 6.3/10 against 2,283 of them, against 5.2/10 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 | 75.0 · 78 | 40% | 3.11 |
| 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 Fiskerton Church of England Primary School
Overview
Pupils are described as happy, feeling “cared for and challenged in equal measure” within a calm school environment. Leaders have established high expectations for behaviour and achievement, ensuring that all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities, receive appropriate support and thrive.
Strengths
- Reading is a clear priority, with a “consistently delivered” phonics programme and a well-stocked library fostering a “love of reading.”
- The curriculum is “ambitious” and “well sequenced,” helping pupils build knowledge over time, particularly in the early years where children settle quickly.
- Pupils develop strong personal qualities, learning to be “tolerant and respectful” through initiatives like the school council and partnerships with schools abroad.
- Staff provide effective pastoral support, with pupils noting the “lovely small community feel and family atmosphere.”
- Leaders are ambitious for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities, ensuring they “achieve well” and access the full curriculum.
Areas to improve
- In some subjects, “key knowledge pupils need to know and remember should be more explicit,” limiting teachers’ ability to identify and address gaps in learning.
- Some subject leaders “lack the experience and training to develop their subject fully,” leading to inconsistencies in how subjects are led and developed.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with staff well trained to recognise signs of abuse and systems in place to ensure pupils feel safe and supported.
