The Middle Rasen Primary School
Market Rasen, LN8 3TS · Lincolnshire · primary school
79th 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 — 4.9/10 against 4,227 of them, against 5.2/10 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 | 62.0 · 44 | 40% | 1.74 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 10.0 · 66 | 25% | 1.65 |
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, 62.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared with the national median of 64%. Only 10.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in June 2024. Its position is much the same whether compared with all schools or only those whose pupils have similar backgrounds (4.9 out of 10 against similar schools, 5.2 out of 10 against all schools).
Getting in. The school has 124 pupils in a capacity of 105, meaning it is over capacity by 19. Places are competitive because the school is over its stated capacity.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the transition for new starters when it is over capacity? What specific support is available for pupils who are not reaching the expected standard in maths? How does the school maintain its Good rating while managing a pupil population that exceeds its designated places?
