Weelsby Academy
Grimsby, DN32 7PF · North East Lincolnshire · primary school
16th of 43 primary schools in North East Lincolnshire we can score, 49 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 — 9.0/10 against 639 of them, against 7.1/10 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 | 75.0 · 78 | 40% | 3.11 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 9.0 · 61 | 25% | 1.53 |
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, 75.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 9.0% reached the higher standard. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (9.0 out of 10 against similar schools, 7.1 out of 10 against all schools). Ofsted rated the school Good in September 2022.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join Art and craft, Gardening, Phonics, Mindfulness, and Chess clubs, play football, multi skills, gymnastics, and cricket, and visit Weelsby Woods, Cleethorpes Jungle Zoo, and Hubbard’s Hills. An after-school club operates, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 340 pupils in a building with 459 places, leaving 119 spare spots. This means the school has real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than it is built for.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who need extra help with phonics? What does the after-school club typically involve? How does the school manage class sizes given the current vacancy?
