The Sibsey Free Primary School
Boston, PE22 0RR · Lincolnshire · primary school
24th 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 — 8.2/10 against 4,158 of them, against 7.9/10 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 | 78.0 · 84 | 40% | 3.36 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 11.0 · 71 | 25% | 1.77 |
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, 78.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 11.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in November 2022. Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so they are not simply a reflection of who attends (8.2 out of 10 against similar schools, 7.9 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils attend Forest School trips, and the school provides both a breakfast club and an after-school club.
Getting in. The school has 173 pupils in a building with 170 places, meaning it is over capacity by 3. Consequently, places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the daily transition for children arriving before the formal start time? What specific support is available for the 11.0% of pupils who do not reach the higher standard? How does the Forest School curriculum integrate with the core reading and maths lessons?
