The Grange Primary School
Scunthorpe, DN16 3AW · North Lincolnshire · primary school
51st of 54 primary schools in North Lincolnshire we can score, 62 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 — 3.0/10 against 808 of them, against 2.2/10 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 | 49.0 · 17 | 40% | 0.69 |
| Ofsted | 3 | 35% | 0.11 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 3.0 · 29 | 25% | 0.73 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. In 2024/25, 49.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 3.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school "Requires improvement" in November 2023. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (3.0 out of 10 against similar schools, 2.2 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join Book Club, Creative Writing Workshops, and Glockenspiel sessions. Sports include Multi-sports, Wheelchair Basketball, and Silent Discos. Arts activities feature Arts Award Discover, Arts Week, and an Artist in Residence. Both breakfast and after-school clubs are available.
Getting in. The school has 384 pupils in a capacity of 420, leaving 36 spare places. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who have not yet reached the expected standard in core subjects? What specific strategies are in place to address the "Requires improvement" rating from the 2023 inspection? How do the booster sessions integrate with the regular curriculum to help close the gap with the national median?
