The Holbeach St Mark's Church of England Primary School
Spalding, PE12 8DZ · Lincolnshire · primary school
234th 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.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 1.5/10 against 1,571 of them, against 1.6/10 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) 2023/24 | 50.0 · 19 | 62% | 1.17 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2023/24 | 0.0 · 10 | 38% | 0.40 |
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 2023/24, 50.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 63%. No pupils reached the higher standard. Its results are much the same when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so the gap is not explained by intake (1.5 out of 10 against similar schools, 1.6 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. The school does not currently name any specific clubs, sports, or arts activities.
Getting in. There are 48 pupils in a school with 70 places, leaving 22 spare places. The school has real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than it is built for.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who are below the expected standard in literacy and numeracy? What does a typical day look like for a child in terms of structured learning time versus free play? How does the small class size influence the depth of individual feedback provided to parents?
