Scunthorpe, DN17 1SS · North Lincolnshire · primary school

Ofsted: Good · 2025 Inspected 1 year ago Mixed Primary
5.5/10 Broadly average

19th of 54 primary schools in North Lincolnshire we can score, 62 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 — 8.0/10 against 392 of them, against 5.6/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 59.0 · 37 40% 1.47
Ofsted 52 35% 1.81
Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 17.0 · 87 25% 2.18

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, 59.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. 17.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in March 2025. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (8.0 out of 10 against similar schools, 5.6 out of 10 against all schools).

Beyond the classroom. Pupils attend a Book Club and visit authors Cathy Cassidy and Nick Sharratt. There is no breakfast club or after-school club.

Getting in. The school has 290 pupils in a capacity of 389, leaving 99 spare places. This means the school has real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than it is built for.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who arrive without a breakfast club? What specific strategies are used to close the gap between the 59.0% expected standard and the national median? How do the recent author visits integrate into the daily curriculum?
