Check the area around this school
118th 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.
Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 5.0/10 against 2,515 of them, against 4.3/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 65.0 · 52 | 41% | 2.11 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 34% | 1.76 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 3.0 · 29 | 26% | 0.75 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

What Ofsted said about The St Peter and St Paul C of E Primary School
Overview
The report describes a school where pupils enjoy attending and feel safe within a "caring ethos." Leaders have established high expectations for behaviour, resulting in a calm and orderly environment where bullying is not tolerated. The curriculum is broad, with particular strength in early reading and support for pupils with special educational needs.
Strengths
- Pupils demonstrate respect, courage, and compassion, and feel included through initiatives such as using British sign language in assemblies.
- Teachers use a consistent, expert approach to early reading, ensuring pupils become "confident and fluent readers" with swift intervention for those falling behind.
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities are "extremely well supported" and access the full curriculum alongside their peers.
- The school promotes personal development through online safety education, healthy lifestyle activities like ‘5 a day’, and residential trips.
- Governors "hold leaders to account" effectively, and staff appreciate that leaders consider their workload and well-being.
Areas to improve
- Leaders must ensure clarity around the "precise knowledge that pupils should know and by when" in all subjects, particularly in foundation subjects where depth of knowledge is currently insufficient.
- Leaders should ensure assessment in all subjects enables teachers to identify and address gaps in pupils’ knowledge, as inconsistent approaches in some subjects lead to unaddressed gaps.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with leaders maintaining a strong culture, detailed knowledge of pupil concerns, and close collaboration with external agencies.
