Check the area around this school
48th 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.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 0.3/10 against 2,170 of them, against 0.6/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. 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) 2023/24 | 29.0 · 2 | 40% | 0.10 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2023/24 | 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 Wroot Travis Charity Church of England Primary School
Overview
The report describes a school where pupils feel emotionally and physically safe within a "warm and caring ethos." Leaders have high ambitions for all pupils, creating a curriculum designed to help them understand the world beyond their immediate surroundings. The inspection confirms that relationships are built on respect, and staff feel highly supported by leaders who prioritise well-being.
Strengths
- Pupils behave with kindness, and bullying is effectively prevented through a culture where children know to "See it, say it, sort it."
- A new phonics curriculum supports early reading, with books closely matched to the sounds pupils know.
- Staff workload is managed well, with leaders providing time for subject leaders to check teaching quality.
- Governors offer "challenge and support," maintaining a detailed understanding of the school’s strengths and development areas.
- Pupils develop a strong moral compass through engagement with themes like discrimination and by taking on roles such as peer mentors.
Areas to improve
- In some foundation subjects, the precise knowledge and vocabulary are not clearly defined, hindering consistent learning progression.
- Curriculum monitoring is variable, leaving some leaders without a clear picture of impact for lower-attaining pupils.
- Assessment data in early reading and mathematics lacks the detail needed to provide targeted catch-up support for pupils with gaps in learning.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, characterised by a "strong culture of safeguarding" where staff follow robust systems to record concerns which are then followed up swiftly and diligently by leaders.
