Check the area around this school
3rd of 42 primary schools in North East Lincolnshire we can score, 48 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 — 9.6/10 against 4,258 of them, against 9.4/10 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) 2024/25 | 85.0 · 94 | 40% | 3.75 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 24.0 · 95 | 25% | 2.38 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Wybers Wood Academy overview
How it's doing
In 2024/25, 85.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. 24.0% reached the higher standard, against a national median of 7%. Ofsted rated the school Good in June 2025. Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so they are not simply a reflection of who attends (9.6 out of 10 against similar schools, 9.4 out of 10 against all schools).

What Ofsted said about Wybers Wood Academy
Overview
Evidence from this ungraded inspection suggests the school’s work “may have improved significantly across all areas” since the previous inspection, prompting a future graded inspection. The report describes a school where pupils “thrive because of the exceptional care they receive” and are “very well prepared for the next stage of their education.” Leaders maintain high ambitions, ensuring pupils feel safe, supported, and empowered to succeed.
Strengths
- Pupils “achieve exceptionally well” due to a “highly ambitious” curriculum that helps them build knowledge effectively and become fluent in key skills.
- Staff provide “exemplary pastoral support,” with pupils knowing they will be listened to by their ‘hear partner’ or any adult if worried.
- Behaviour is “exceptional,” with pupils showing “kindness and compassion” and respecting adults, underpinned by clear expectations.
- Reading is prioritised with “consistently well” taught phonics, fostering a strong culture where pupils become “confident, fluent readers.”
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities are “fully included” and receive “highly appropriate support tailored to the specific needs of individual pupils.”
