Ofsted report card · 2026 Lowest area: Needs attention Mixed Primary
1.9/10 Well below average

40th 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 — 3.7/10 against 1,416 of them, against 2.9/10 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. In 2024/25, 61.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 0.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school "Requires improvement" in March 2026. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (3.7 out of 10 against similar schools, 2.9 out of 10 against all schools).

Getting in. The school has 210 pupils in a building with 315 places, leaving 105 spare places. 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 are not reaching the higher standard in maths? What specific actions are being taken to address the "Requires improvement" rating from the recent inspection? How do class sizes impact individual attention with 105 places currently vacant?
