Ofsted: Good · 2024 Inspected 2 years ago Mixed Primary
3.0/10 Below average

191st of 253 primary schools in Lincolnshire we can score, 280 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 3,392 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.2/10 among them, against 1.9/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

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. In 2024/25, 53.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 0.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in March 2024. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.2 out of 10 among them, against 1.9 out of 10 nationally.

Getting in. The school has 410 pupils in a capacity of 420, leaving 10 spare places. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.

Worth asking on a visit. With only 10 places remaining, how does the school manage waitlists for new admissions? Since the latest inspection was in March 2024, what changes have been made to teaching since then? How does the school support pupils who are not reaching the expected standard in core subjects?
