Sir William Robertson Academy, Welbourn
Lincoln, LN5 0PA · Lincolnshire · secondary school
31st of 54 secondary schools in Lincolnshire we can score. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to the 932 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.5/10 among them, against 2.7/10 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% | 1.81 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 27.8 · 13 | 30% | 0.39 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | -0.04 · 47 | 25% | 1.18 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 39.8 · 20 | 10% | 0.20 |
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. The school is rated Good by Ofsted, inspected in 2024-11. In 2024/25, 27.8% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 39.8, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was -0.04 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did slightly worse than peers nationally who started from the same place. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.5 out of 10 among them, against 2.7 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils have access to private music instrumental lessons.
Getting in. The school has 994 pupils in a capacity of 838, meaning it is over capacity by 156. The school is over its stated capacity, so places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. With the school operating well above its stated capacity, how does the leadership team manage class sizes and resource allocation? Since the Progress 8 score is below 0, what specific strategies are in place to support pupils in closing the attainment gap? How does the school ensure that the competitive entry process does not disadvantage applicants who do not meet the initial criteria?
