Check the area around this school
57th 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 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 7.0/10 against 3,004 of them, against 6.3/10 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 | 87.0 · 96 | 40% | 3.82 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| 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.

What Ofsted said about Osgodby Primary School
Overview
Osgodby Primary School is described as a "welcoming and inclusive school" where pupils "embrace being part of the school community" and demonstrate "courtesy and respect." The inspection confirms that the school has "taken effective action to maintain the standards identified at the previous inspection," with parents remaining "very positive" about their involvement.
Strengths
- Pupils show a "positive attitude to their learning" in "calm" environments, supporting each other and engaging in diverse activities such as "archaeological digs" and sports.
- The school has an "ambitious approach" to curriculum design, with key concepts like "communication, collaboration and compassion" running throughout subjects.

- Staff and governors actively support improvement, with governors who "actively support and challenge the school to bring about improvements."
Areas to improve
- In a "small number of subjects," the school has not clearly identified the "precise knowledge that pupils need to know," hindering cumulative learning.
- Assessment systems in some subjects are in "early stages of implementation," meaning teachers lack information on "gaps or misconceptions in pupils’ knowledge."
- There is insufficient oversight of curriculum implementation in some subjects, so "areas for development are not consistently identified and addressed."
