Check the area around this school
38th 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.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 0.5/10 against 1,087 of them, against 0.7/10 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 | 33.0 · 4 | 40% | 0.17 |
| 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 Grange Primary School
Overview
Grange Primary School has taken effective action to maintain the standards identified at the previous inspection. The report describes a welcoming environment where pupils are nurtured and achieve well, supported by a highly effective curriculum and strong leadership.
Strengths
- The curriculum is "highly effective," carefully crafted to ensure pupils with different abilities, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), can access learning.
- The provision for pupils with SEND is a "notable strength," with staff demonstrating an "excellent understanding of pupils’ needs" and delivering specialist interventions.
- Reading is "at the heart of everything the school does," with teachers trained to enthuse pupils and quick identification of those needing support.
- Teachers have "secure subject knowledge" and use comprehensive professional development to adapt lessons precisely to meet pupil needs.
- Leaders have an "in-depth understanding of the school" and accurately prioritise areas for improvement, while governors challenge leaders effectively.
Areas to improve
- A significant proportion of pupils do not attend school regularly enough, limiting their progress; the school should strengthen community relations to improve attendance.
- Some pupils lack sufficient knowledge about fundamental British values, protected characteristics, and world faiths; learning in these areas needs to be more embedded.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
