Westgate Academy
Lincoln, LN1 3BQ · Lincolnshire · primary school
199th 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.
Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 4.0/10 against 1,973 of them, against 3.5/10 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 | 58.0 · 35 | 40% | 1.39 |
| Ofsted | 11 | 35% | 0.39 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 4.0 · 35 | 25% | 0.88 |
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, 58.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 4.0% reached the higher standard. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (4.0 out of 10 against similar schools, 3.5 out of 10 against all schools). Ofsted rated the school Good in February 2026.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils access multi-sports, football, cricket, archery, swimming, instrumental lessons, djembe drumming, and the Lincoln Cathedral choir. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 441 pupils in a capacity of 480, leaving 39 spare places. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who do not reach the expected standard in maths? What specific activities take place during the after-school club? How does the school manage the transition for children moving to secondary education?
