Check the area around this school
114th 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.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 4.2/10 against 3,598 of them, against 4.5/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. 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 | 53.0 · 24 | 40% | 0.96 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 13.0 · 78 | 25% | 1.94 |
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 The Edenham Church of England School
Overview
The Edenham Church of England School has taken effective action to maintain the standards identified at the previous inspection. Pupils thrive in a warm and welcoming environment where staff care for them well, helping them feel happy and secure. The school’s vision is fully realised, with pupils demonstrating high aspirations, enthusiasm for learning, and positive behaviour.
Strengths
- Pupils achieve very well in English and mathematics, building knowledge that prepares them for future lives.
- The curriculum is ambitious and carefully designed, with teachers having secure subject knowledge and presenting information clearly.
- Staff promote a love of reading from the early years, ensuring pupils develop fluency and comprehension through matched books and phonics support.
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are identified early and typically achieve well with targeted support.
- Personal development is central, with pupils benefiting from cultural opportunities, outdoor learning, and responsible roles within the school community.
Areas to improve
- In foundation subjects, consistent assessment processes have not been fully established, meaning checks on pupil knowledge are not always effective.
- In-class support and adaptations to teaching do not always meet the needs of pupils with SEND as well as they could, occasionally hindering their progress.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
