Mixed Primary Church of England
6.4/10 Broadly average

39th of 253 primary schools in Lincolnshire we can score, 280 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 3,829 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 5.0/10 among 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.
