Check the area around this school
128th 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 — 7.4/10 against 2,651 of them, against 6.4/10 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 | 69.0 · 63 | 40% | 2.51 |
| Ofsted | 7 | 35% | 0.24 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 10.0 · 66 | 25% | 1.65 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

How it's doing
In 2024/25, 69.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared with a national median of 64%. 10.0% reached the higher standard, against a national median of 7%.

What Ofsted said about The Butterwick Pinchbeck's Endowed CofE Primary School
Overview
The report describes a school where pupils are "well known, cared for and valued," creating a "calm, inclusive and friendly environment." Leaders have established strong relationships with families and maintain high expectations for behaviour, resulting in pupils who "behave very well" and feel safe. While safeguarding standards are met and early years provision is effective, the report identifies specific areas in curriculum planning, teaching consistency, and attendance that require attention.
Strengths
- Safeguarding standards are met, with an "open culture" where concerns are "actively identified, acted upon and managed."
- Pupils demonstrate excellent behaviour and kindness, with bullying incidents reported as "rare."
- Early years provision is effective, with children becoming "independent and articulate learners" who follow routines well.
- Staff provide "highly effective pastoral support," particularly for pupils with complex needs or those known to social care.
- Parents and carers are "overwhelmingly positive" about the school’s "warm relationships" and "family feel."
Areas to improve
- Leaders must ensure curriculum knowledge and skills are "clearly identified in all subjects" to support consistent achievement.
- Staff need to implement new writing approaches consistently, focusing on "handwriting and transcription skills" to close gaps in letter formation and spelling.
- Teachers should routinely use assessment data to adapt teaching for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities, as this is currently inconsistent.
- Leaders should strengthen efforts to improve attendance, particularly for disadvantaged pupils who "continue to miss too much of their schooling."
- Pupils need clearer understanding of how school values link with "fundamental British values."
Safeguarding
The report states that safeguarding standards are met, noting that leaders have established an "open culture in which safeguarding is everyone's responsibility" and that "pupils are made safer and feel safe."
