The Isaac Newton Primary School
Grantham, NG31 7DG · Lincolnshire · primary school
196th 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 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 3.8/10 against 894 of them, against 2.8/10 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 | 42.0 · 10 | 62% | 0.59 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 8.0 · 57 | 38% | 2.19 |
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, 42.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 8.0% reached the higher standard. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (3.8 out of 10 against similar schools, 2.8 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils participate in a School Council and a wide range of sports, including Panathlon, New Age Kurling, Indoor Athletics, Netball, Hockey, Swimming, Relay Run, and Tri-Golf. The school does not offer a breakfast or after-school club.
Getting in. The school has 386 pupils in a capacity of 420 places, leaving 34 spare places. This means the school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who arrive without a breakfast club? What specific support is available for children who did not reach the expected standard in 2024/25? How does the school manage the transition for new families given the current pupil numbers?
