Check the area around this school
20th 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.
Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 7.9/10 against 2,194 of them, against 6.6/10 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 | 70.0 · 65 | 40% | 2.61 |
| 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.

The report highlights a strong Christian ethos, effective support for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), and a well-sequenced curriculum that fosters pupil enjoyment and achievement.
Strengths
- The school maintains a "nurturing" atmosphere where "pupils’ emotional well-being is a high priority," supported by specialist staff and a variety of clubs.
- There is a "strong reading curriculum" with a "well-embedded" approach to early reading, ensuring children learn to read "quickly and fluently."
- Pupils benefit from an "ambitious curriculum" and "high-quality learning experiences" created by specialist staff, resulting in engaging lessons.
- SEND pupils receive "timely, effective support" and are fully included in lessons and wider opportunities, benefiting from "carefully curated sensory spaces."
- Governance provides "supportive and effective challenge," and the school manages staff workload well while promoting good attendance.
Areas to improve
- In a "small number of subjects," teachers do not provide regular opportunities for pupils to revisit prior learning, meaning some pupils struggle to transfer knowledge to their "long-term memory." The school should ensure pupils have "planned opportunities to revisit the identified important knowledge."
