Check the area around this school
18th of 54 secondary schools in Lincolnshire we can score. 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 — 5.9/10 against 885 of them, against 6.1/10 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.84 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2025/26 | 52.7 · 68 | 30% | 2.05 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | -0.01 · 50 | 25% | 1.24 |
| Attainment 8 2025/26 | 49.0 · 65 | 10% | 0.65 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

Strengths
- The curriculum is ambitious and meets the needs of all pupils, including offering broad options at key stage 4 and encouraging language study at key stage 3.

- Staff deliver high-quality explanations and modelling across most parts of the curriculum, engaging pupils effectively.
- The school fosters inclusivity and personal development through enrichment activities, international trips, and a strong culture of rewards and achievement.
Areas to improve
- Teaching does not consistently check that pupils have remembered essential knowledge, meaning some lack the prerequisite knowledge for future learning.
- Strategies to support pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are sometimes used inconsistently, preventing some from achieving as well as they should.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
