56th 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 — 7.1/10 against 2,001 of them, against 5.9/10 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 | 65.0 · 52 | 62% | 3.18 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 11.0 · 71 | 38% | 2.72 |
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 Lincoln Monks Abbey Primary School
Overview
Pupils are proud to attend this diverse and vibrant school, where staff show respect and care. While behaviour, personal development, leadership, and early years provision are rated as good, the quality of education requires improvement due to inconsistencies in phonics teaching and curriculum planning in some subjects.
Strengths
- Pupils feel happy, safe, and cared for, with older pupils looking after younger ones and no one left out of playground games.
- The writing curriculum is particularly well crafted, described as a ‘well-sequenced writing journey’ that helps pupils write with confidence.
- Attendance is a ‘real success story’, with most pupils, including the most vulnerable, attending school regularly.
- The school acts as a strong community hub, with a welfare team that supports families expertly and ensures pupils are well cared for.
- Diversity is promoted and respected, with pupils learning about different faiths and cultures through visits and shared activities.
Areas to improve
- Phonics is not implemented consistently; staff must receive expert training to ensure correct sounds are taught and reading books are accurately matched to pupils’ knowledge.
- Some pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) do not receive sufficient planned opportunities to develop independence or socialise with peers.
- Curriculum planning in a few subjects, particularly in key stage 1, is not precise enough, preventing some pupils from acquiring the depth of understanding they could.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
