Ofsted: Good · 2022 Inspected 4 years ago Mixed Secondary
3.9/10 Broadly average

28th of 54 secondary schools in Lincolnshire we can score. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.

Narrow the comparison to the 910 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.7/10 among them, against 3.3/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

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. The school is rated Good by Ofsted, last inspected in 2022. In 2024/25, 31.1% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 41.0, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was +0.03 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did slightly better than those nationally who started from the same place. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.7 out of 10 among them, against 3.3 out of 10 nationally.

Getting in. The school has 591 pupils in a capacity of 600, leaving 9 spare places. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils to close the gap between their Attainment 8 and the national median? What specific steps are taken to improve Progress 8 scores for students from similar backgrounds? How does the school manage admissions when only 9 places remain?
