Check the area around this school
163rd 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 — 2.7/10 against 2,634 of them, against 2.7/10 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 | 56.0 · 30 | 40% | 1.18 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 2.0 · 24 | 25% | 0.59 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

How it's doing
In 2024/25, 56.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared with the national median of 64%. 2.0% reached the higher standard, against a national median of 7%. 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 (2.7 out of 10 either way). Ofsted rated the school Good in January 2023.

Pupils can join the Lincolnshire Show Challenge and Young Environmentalists clubs, take part in swimming, and attend an after-school club.

What Ofsted said about The Lincoln Manor Leas Junior School
Overview
The Lincoln Manor Leas Junior School continues to be a good school, characterised by a strong sense of community where "nobody is left out". Pupils are respectful, motivated, and benefit from a well-planned curriculum that prioritises reading and supports those with special educational needs effectively.
Strengths
- Behaviour is "highly positive", with pupils being motivated by rewards and rarely needing reminders.
- Leaders have successfully prioritised reading, ensuring pupils become "fluent readers" and develop a "love of reading" through engaging events.
- The curriculum is "bespoke to the pupils", well sequenced, and builds incrementally on prior knowledge in most subjects.
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities are "well supported" through precise, measurable targets and detailed planning.
- Senior leaders provide "consistent, high-quality leadership" with a clear vision, fostering a cohesive staff team.
Areas to improve
- Leaders should ensure all pupils feel confident to report bullying, as a small number currently lack the confidence to do so.
- The curriculum in a small number of subjects does not clearly identify the most important knowledge, leading to inconsistent pupil recall.
- The board of trustees must ensure new members receive comprehensive training to consistently hold leaders to account.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with staff receiving regular training and procedures being consistently understood and applied.
