Gosberton Academy
Spalding, PE11 4NW · Lincolnshire · primary school
44th 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 — 8.3/10 against 2,279 of them, against 6.9/10 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 | 80.0 · 88 | 40% | 3.51 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 5.0 · 40 | 25% | 1.00 |
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, 80.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 5.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in July 2023. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (8.3 out of 10 against similar schools, 6.9 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join clubs for arts and crafts, computing, board games, lego, science, and community activities. They play football and perform in "Gosberton's Got Talent." A trip to the pantomime *Beauty and the Beast* is offered. Both a breakfast club and an after-school club are available.
Getting in. The school has 134 pupils in a capacity of 135 places, leaving just 1 spare place. This means the school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage admissions when there is only 1 place remaining? What specific support is provided for the 5.0% of pupils who reach the higher standard? How does the breakfast club integrate with the morning curriculum?
