229th 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 3,450 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.4/10 among them, against 2.1/10 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 | 55.0 · 27 | 40% | 1.10 |
| Ofsted | 12 | 35% | 0.40 |
| 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 Scampton Church of England Primary School
Overview
Scampton Church of England Primary School is a small school where pupils "flourish within the school’s loving community" and feel safe. The inspection found that leaders promote high expectations, resulting in pupils who are "motivated to do well" and demonstrate "excellent behaviour." While the school meets the expected standard in most areas, with attendance and behaviour rated at a strong standard, there are specific inconsistencies in how knowledge is retained in subjects beyond the core curriculum.
Strengths
- Pupils display "excellent behaviour," working with focus and supporting peers "remarkably well."
- Attendance is strong, with leaders actively discouraging term-time holidays and building "positive and productive partnerships with families."
- Staff provide effective support for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities, ensuring they "learn and progress through the curriculum as well as their peers."
- The early years provision is praised for helping children become "articulate" and ready for key stage 1 through "stimulating learning activities."
- Leaders foster a nurturing ethos where pupils develop resilience and a sense of belonging to their local heritage.
Areas to improve
- Leaders must ensure pupils have sufficient opportunities to revisit key knowledge in subjects beyond English, mathematics, and science to prevent forgetting.
- Checks on pupil understanding in non-core subjects need to better identify misconceptions before new content is introduced.
- Leaders should refine how they evaluate the curriculum’s impact to ensure pupils "know more and remember more over time" across all subjects.
Safeguarding
The safeguarding standards are met, with leaders establishing an "open culture in which safeguarding is everyone's responsibility" and concerns are actively managed.
