Check the area around this school
42nd 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.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 1.0/10 against 176 of them, against 0.7/10 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 | 33.0 · 4 | 40% | 0.17 |
| Ofsted | 7 | 35% | 0.24 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 0.0 · 10 | 25% | 0.26 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Oasis Academy Nunsthorpe overview
How it's doing
In 2024/25, 33.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 0.0% of pupils, against a national median of 7%. Its results are much the same when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so the gap is not explained by intake (1.0 out of 10 against similar schools, 0.7 out of 10 against all schools). An inspection took place in May 2026 under the new report-card framework, which grades each area separately and gives no overall grade.

What Ofsted said about Oasis Academy Nunsthorpe
Overview
The report describes a school undergoing significant change under new leadership, which has brought "much needed stability" and improved curriculum delivery. While safeguarding standards are met and pupils demonstrate positive behaviour, recent national test outcomes and attendance rates remain below the national average. Leaders are taking effective action to address these historical weaknesses, with early signs of improvement in pupil engagement and learning.
Strengths
- Safeguarding standards are met, with an "open culture" where concerns are actively identified and managed.
- Teachers deliver a "well-organised curriculum" with confidence, using subject knowledge to help pupils connect learning across subjects.
- Pupils are "polite and courteous," demonstrating "very positive attitudes to their learning" and conducting themselves well.
- The early years provision is engaging, with staff skilfully developing children’s language and fostering "confident, independent learners."
- Leaders have established a "cohesive approach to inclusion," ensuring timely support for pupils with special educational needs or disabilities.
Areas to improve
- Leaders must continue robust oversight of attendance and punctuality so that more pupils attend school regularly and on time.
- Leaders should ensure actions to develop knowledge in early reading, writing, and mathematics enable pupils to apply these skills effectively across the curriculum.
Safeguarding
The report states that "safeguarding standards are met," meaning leaders have established an open culture where safeguarding is everyone's responsibility and pupils are made safer and feel safe.
