Check the area around this school
85th 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 the 4,256 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.9/10 among them, against 5.0/10 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 | 64.0 · 49 | 40% | 1.97 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 7.0 · 51 | 25% | 1.27 |
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 Uffington Church of England Primary School
Overview
The inspection confirms that The Uffington Church of England Primary School has “taken effective action to maintain the standards identified at the previous inspection.” Pupils describe the school as a “small, happy family” where they feel “welcome and supported” by staff who greet them warmly. The report highlights a “caring atmosphere” and strong relationships, noting that pupils are “happy and thriving” in a “highly nurturing environment.”
Strengths
- The curriculum is “broad and ambitious” and “well-organised,” with a shift to discrete subject teaching allowing for “focused lessons” and clear understanding.
- Staff use detailed information to adapt lessons for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), ensuring they “achieve well” through “targeted support.”
- A “strong reading culture” exists, with expert staff supporting confidence and “precise support” for those struggling with fluency.
- Behaviour is “calm and positive,” with pupils following routines effectively and showing respect for peers and staff.
- The early years provide a “well-organised environment” that sparks curiosity and prepares children for key stage 1 through purposeful experiences.
Areas to improve
- Teachers should ensure teaching activities are “broken down to allow all pupils to engage effectively,” as some activities are currently too broad and cause disengagement.
- The school should ensure teaching supports “sufficient development of subject-specific skills” in foundation subjects, where not enough time is currently allocated for practice.
Safeguarding
The report states that “the arrangements for safeguarding are effective.”
