Check the area around this school
54th of 252 primary schools in Lincolnshire we can score, 279 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 — 6.0/10 against 4,013 of them, against 6.0/10 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 | 77.0 · 82 | 62% | 5.04 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 2.0 · 24 | 38% | 0.92 |
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 Wygate Park Academy
Overview
Wygate Park Academy is described as a "warm and inclusive" school where pupils feel "safe and valued." The report highlights "impressive outcomes" in core subjects, driven by high expectations and a curriculum tailored to meet diverse needs, particularly for pupils speaking English as an additional language.
Strengths
- Pupils demonstrate "exemplary conduct" and embody the school’s values of resilience, empathy, ambition, challenge, and honesty.
- There is a "vibrant reading culture" where pupils have a "genuine love of reading," supported by excellent phonics teaching and a well-stocked library.
- Personal development is "outstanding," equipping pupils to make "informed, healthy choices" and respect diverse ways of living.
- Staff employ "talk tactics" expertly to enhance speaking and listening, which is particularly effective for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).
- Leadership is effective, with staff praising the consideration shown to their workload and the support provided by the multi-academy trust.
Areas to improve
- In some foundation subjects, staff do not revise prior learning systematically, meaning some pupils remember activities rather than "crucial curriculum content."
- Staff occasionally fail to check closely enough for understanding, missing misconceptions and leaving some pupils "misinformed" about what they are learning.
Safeguarding
The report states that "the arrangements for safeguarding are effective."
