Check the area around this school
55th 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 3,480 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 5.0/10 among them, against 6.5/10 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 | 73.0 · 73 | 40% | 2.93 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 7.0 · 51 | 25% | 1.27 |
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 Manor Farm Academy
Overview
Manor Farm Academy has taken effective action to maintain the standards identified at the previous inspection. The school provides a calm, welcoming atmosphere where pupils are happy, confident, and proud of their learning. Staff maintain high expectations, fostering strong relationships and a supportive environment for all children.
Strengths
- Pupils demonstrate "exceptional" behaviour, following well-established routines that create a "calm and purposeful atmosphere".
- The school has created a "broad and ambitious curriculum" with careful planning to help pupils learn and remember over time.
- A "strong reading culture" is established from Reception, with targeted support ensuring pupils develop confidence and a love of books.
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are supported well, learning the curriculum alongside peers through adapted teaching.
- Governors understand their role well and carefully check staff well-being, with staff appreciating the consideration given to their workload.
Areas to improve
- In some foundation subjects, the curriculum is "not sufficiently well sequenced" to provide opportunities for pupils to revise and recall prior knowledge, causing them to struggle with making connections between current and previous learning.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
