Skegness Grammar School
Skegness, PE25 2QS · Lincolnshire · Grammar school
16th 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 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 8.1/10 against 887 of them, against 7.0/10 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

| Progress 8 2023/24 | -0.02 · 49 | 26% | 1.27 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 52.0 · 78 | 10% | 0.81 |
