Bourne Grammar School
Bourne, PE10 9JE · Lincolnshire · Grammar school
6th of 54 secondary schools in Lincolnshire we can score. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to the 300 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 6.8/10 among them, against 9.4/10 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 92.1 · 96 | 30% | 2.89 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.68 · 90 | 25% | 2.26 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 68.6 · 96 | 10% | 0.96 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. In 2024/25, 92.1% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 68.6, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 stood at +0.68 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did better than those nationally who started from the same place. Ofsted rated the school Good in 2022. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 6.8 out of 10 among them, against 9.4 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join Darts, Debating, Chess, and Choir clubs, play tennis, or take instrumental music and piano lessons. Trips include a visit to Copenhagen and a Year 12 Geography trip to Snowdonia. An after-school club is available.
Getting in. The school has 1740 pupils in a capacity of 1700, meaning it is over capacity by 40. The school is over its stated capacity, so places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the pressure of being over capacity? What specific support is offered to pupils who need to close the gap between their progress and the national average? How accessible are the after-school clubs for students with tight timetables?
