Check the area around this school
145th 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 the 4,238 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.0/10 among them, against 3.1/10 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 | 45.0 · 13 | 40% | 0.51 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 9.0 · 61 | 25% | 1.53 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

Worth asking on a visit
With 45.0% meeting expected standards, what specific strategies are used to support pupils who are behind? How does the school monitor progress for the 9.0% who reach the higher standard? What does the daily timetable look like for a Year 6 pupil?
What Ofsted said about Tealby School
Overview
Tealby School has taken effective action to maintain the standards identified at the previous inspection. Pupils enjoy attending the school, feeling safe and supported by staff who expect every pupil to do well. The school is described as welcoming and inclusive, with a broad curriculum that helps pupils build knowledge over time.
Strengths
- Pupils are polite, friendly, and proud of their work, with bullying being rare and dealt with quickly.
- Staff are skilled in teaching phonics, ensuring most pupils become confident and fluent readers.
- The curriculum is broad and ambitious, with clear explanations and opportunities for practice.
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are included in all parts of school life, including trips and clubs.
- Governors ask clear questions and check whether planned actions are making a difference.
Areas to improve
- The school should ensure that all staff have the knowledge and expertise to meet the needs of pupils with SEND, as support does not always help them overcome individual barriers effectively.
- The school should ensure that staff understand the school’s agreed behaviour strategies and use them consistently, as low-level disruption is not always dealt with effectively.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
