6th of 10 secondary schools in North East Lincolnshire we can score. 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 — 1.8/10 against 203 of them, against 0.9/10 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.84 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2025/26 | 26.2 · 9 | 30% | 0.27 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | -0.68 · 9 | 25% | 0.22 |
| Attainment 8 2025/26 | 35.6 · 6 | 10% | 0.06 |
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 Oasis Academy Wintringham
Overview
Oasis Academy Wintringham continues to be a good school, characterised by a culture of "high ambition combined with effective pastoral care." Leaders have established an "ambitious and broad" curriculum that ensures knowledge builds over time, supported by strong relationships between staff and pupils. The school places significant emphasis on personal development, literacy, and providing clear career guidance for older students.
Strengths
- Leaders have created a curriculum that is "ambitious and broad," with opportunities open to all, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).
- There is a "strong emphasis on literacy and reading," with a vibrant library and effective support for pupils who struggle to read fluently.
- Pupils appreciate the "personal development curriculum," which includes sensitive topics and allows them to influence school life through leadership opportunities.
- Staff provide "effective careers advice" and foster links with local colleges, helping older pupils establish "very clear aims for their next steps."
- Governors have a "clear understanding of the strengths and areas of development," and staff value the professional development opportunities provided.
Areas to improve
- The curriculum in some subjects at key stage 3 does not take sufficient account of what pupils already know from primary school, leaving some pupils "not secure in important knowledge and understanding in Year 7."
- Some pupils fail to meet expectations for good behaviour, leading to an increase in suspensions; leaders must continue to apply effective strategies to support these pupils.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with a "strong culture of safeguarding" established through regular training, prompt reporting of concerns, and collaboration with external agencies.
