24th 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 the 4,236 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.4/10 among them, against 4.6/10 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 | 71.0 · 68 | 40% | 2.73 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 0.0 · 10 | 25% | 0.26 |
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 Wootton St Andrew's CofE Primary School
Overview
Wootton St Andrew’s CofE Primary School has “taken effective action to maintain the standards identified at the previous inspection.” The report describes a “caring school” where Christian values are central, and pupils are “highly respectful” and supportive of one another. While the school continues to perform well, inspectors identified specific areas within the curriculum and assessment processes that require refinement to ensure consistent knowledge development.
Strengths
- The early years environment is “attractive and well organised,” helping children develop independence from an early age.
- Phonics teaching is effective, with staff ensuring books are “well matched to the sounds they have learned” and providing extra support for those struggling.
- Pupils receive “rich first-hand experiences” through planned trips and visitors, such as history museum visits, which support their learning.
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) benefit from “effective support” and are fully included in all aspects of school life.
- Staff and governors work collaboratively, with leaders placing a “strong emphasis on the well-being of staff and pupils.”
Areas to improve
- Leaders must clearly identify the most important knowledge in each curriculum area, as it is currently “not clear what pupils must know in some topics,” leading to inconsistent knowledge development.
- The school needs to use assessment information more effectively to address gaps in pupils’ learning, as it is currently not being used well enough to drive improvements.
Safeguarding
The report states that “the arrangements for safeguarding are effective.”
