Check the area around this school
95th 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 the 4,259 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.7/10 among them, against 4.8/10 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 | 59.0 · 37 | 40% | 1.47 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 10.0 · 66 | 25% | 1.65 |
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 Langtoft Primary School
Overview
Langtoft Primary School continues to be a good school, described as a "warm, welcoming and inclusive" community where pupils feel safe. The report highlights an "ambitious curriculum" underpinned by core values, with staff showing high expectations for pupil effort and achievement.
Strengths
- Pupils demonstrate kindness and empathy, contributing to a positive atmosphere where they "feel safe and attend well."
- The phonics curriculum is "highly effective," with staff possessing high expertise and early readers using books that match the sounds they are learning.
- Leaders provide "high-quality social and emotional education," helping pupils manage anxiety and build trusted relationships with adults.
- Staff feel "valued and supported," benefiting from comprehensive training that helps them improve their practice.
- Governors are "committed" and provide the "right balance of support and challenge" to school leaders.
Areas to improve
- Leaders must ensure the curriculum is "carefully broken down and sequenced in all areas" so teachers focus sharply on core knowledge, as this is not yet consistent across all subjects.
- Target setting for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) must be more precise, ensuring staff understand how to identify "small steps of progress" and adapt teaching accordingly.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with leaders establishing a "culture of care and vigilance" and staff using policies and procedures consistently.
