Check the area around this school
26th of 54 primary schools in North Lincolnshire we can score, 62 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 — 5.4/10 against 2,071 of them, against 4.4/10 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 | 62.0 · 44 | 40% | 1.74 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 6.0 · 45 | 25% | 1.12 |
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 Winterton Junior School
Overview
Winterton Junior School has taken effective action to maintain the standards identified at the previous inspection. The school provides a happy, caring and inclusive environment where pupils are proud of their community and achieve well across the curriculum. Leaders demonstrate sensitive and calm authority, ensuring high expectations for behaviour and learning are consistently met.
Strengths

- Reading is a priority; pupils quickly gain the skills to become confident, fluent readers and develop a love of literature.
- Behaviour is excellent, with pupils speaking politely and respectfully; they are not worried about bullying and trust staff to help them.
- Staff effectively identify and address gaps in knowledge, providing purposeful support for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).
- Governance is a strength, with governors who know the school well and ensure statutory duties are fulfilled.
Areas to improve
- The school should improve the support that pupils receive to develop their writing, particularly regarding letter formation and writing fluency for those at the earliest stages.
