111st 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 4,132 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.0/10 among them, against 4.5/10 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 | 61.0 · 41 | 41% | 1.71 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 33% | 1.71 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 7.0 · 51 | 26% | 1.31 |
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 Navenby Church of England Primary School
Overview
Pupils enjoy attending this school, valuing the "warm and friendly relationships" with staff and peers. Leaders maintain "high aspirations for every pupil" within a curriculum that is "ambitious for all," including those with special educational needs. The school fosters a strong sense of community and Christian ethos, ensuring pupils feel safe and supported.
Strengths
- The curriculum is "well-sequenced," helping pupils "build their knowledge step by step" and retain learning through frequent revisits.
- Mathematics is "well planned and taught," with teachers using a "spaced learning" approach to ensure pupils remember key concepts.
- Pupils develop positive attitudes towards learning, becoming "independent and resilient" while engaging in a "rich and balanced curriculum."
- Staff and governors are well trained in safeguarding, creating a "strong" culture where pupils are kept safe and supported by external agencies when needed.
Areas to improve
- Leaders should support staff to deliver the new phonics programme "effectively and with confidence," as it is not yet fully embedded.
- Leaders must work with teachers to ensure "suitably high expectations of pupils’ behaviour," addressing unsettled conduct in a minority of classes caused by low expectations and weak routines.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with robust recruitment procedures and well-trained staff who promote pupils’ health, well-being, and social and emotional development.
