Check the area around this school
36th of 42 primary schools in North East Lincolnshire we can score, 48 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 3,295 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.5/10 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 | 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 Stallingborough CofE Primary School
Overview
Stallingborough CofE Primary School continues to be a good school, described as a "welcoming and inclusive environment" where most pupils enjoy their time. Leaders have strengthened the quality of education, particularly in reading and mathematics, while maintaining high standards of behaviour and attendance.
Strengths
- Pupils behave well, with disruption to lessons being rare and bullying "infrequent."
- Staff effectively support pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), including increased adult support and collaboration with external agencies.
- Phonics teaching is consistent and effective, helping pupils read with "increasing confidence and fluency."
- The new governing board and leadership team have managed recent changes well, improving the school culture and curriculum clarity.
- Pupils benefit from leadership roles and extra-curricular activities, fostering pride and positive community engagement.
Areas to improve
- Assessment approaches are not well developed across the curriculum, meaning some misconceptions are not addressed effectively.
- Teaching of the new curriculum lacks consistency in some subjects due to staff still developing expertise.
- Quality assurance systems are not yet strong enough to routinely evaluate the impact of recent educational improvements.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with staff alert to risks and knowing how to report concerns about pupils’ welfare.
