Check the area around this school
4th 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.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 8.8/10 against 4,308 of them, against 8.7/10 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 | 86.0 · 95 | 62% | 5.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 12.0 · 74 | 38% | 2.84 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

The higher standard was reached by 12.0% of pupils, against a national median of 7%.

Worth asking on a visit
How does the school manage class sizes when operating 100 pupils over its designated capacity? What specific support is available for pupils who do not reach the expected standard? How are the various clubs and sports scheduled to ensure all pupils can participate?
