Check the area around this school
58th 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 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 7.3/10 against 2,480 of them, against 6.2/10 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 | 67.0 · 57 | 40% | 2.28 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 11.0 · 71 | 25% | 1.77 |
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 Tattershall Primary School
Overview
Tattershall Primary School is described as a community where pupils, staff, and parents are proud, with a "warm and caring environment." The school has recently introduced a new, ambitious curriculum and behaviour policy, resulting in most pupils achieving well and feeling safe. However, inconsistencies in teaching quality within the early years and variable application of assessment and behaviour strategies require attention.
Strengths
- The curriculum is "ambitious" and maps out key knowledge, with pupils regularly revisiting previous learning to secure understanding.
- Reading is prioritised, with books carefully matched to ability and interests, and pupils receiving "precise support" to become accurate readers.
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are "well supported" and achieve well alongside their peers.
- There is a wide range of extra-curricular opportunities, including music and clubs, which help pupils become "more confident and to gain new skills."
- Staff feel valued and work as a team, with leaders effectively consulting external agencies to develop expertise.
Areas to improve
- Early years provision requires improvement, as work is not always matched to children’s understanding and staff do not routinely check for misconceptions.
- Assessment and feedback in some subjects do not precisely identify gaps in knowledge, leaving some pupils without specific guidance to deepen their thinking.
- The behaviour policy is not yet applied consistently by all staff, meaning a minority of pupils are not always helped to refocus on their learning.
Safeguarding
The report states that "the arrangements for safeguarding are effective."
