Long Bennington Church of England Academy
Newark, NG23 5EH · Lincolnshire · primary school
53rd of 253 primary schools in Lincolnshire we can score, 280 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 — 6.2/10 against 4,284 of them, against 6.5/10 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 | 76.0 · 80 | 40% | 3.19 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 5.0 · 40 | 25% | 1.00 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. In 2024/25, 76.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 5.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in May 2024. Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so they are not simply a reflection of who attends (6.2 out of 10 against similar schools, 6.5 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join a choir, play hockey, and attend a Year 4 residential trip. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 244 pupils in a capacity of 280 places, leaving 36 spare spots. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who arrive without a breakfast club? What specific activities are included in the Year 4 residential trip? How does the after-school club structure its daily sessions?
