About Bassingham Primary School

Bassingham Primary School holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained across its two most recent inspections, with the latest ungraded visit in 2022 confirming the school remains Good. The most telling academic metric is the Key Stage 2 combined reading, writing and maths expected standard, where 74% of pupils met the benchmark in the 2023/24 academic year. That figure sits well above the Lincolnshire local authority average of 57%, placing the school 9th out of 41 primary schools in the North Kesteven area and within the top 25% nationally. The school’s ranking score of 74 reflects solid, consistent performance. In reading, the average scaled score was 106, with 37% of pupils reaching the higher standard; in maths, the average was also 106, with 30% hitting the higher threshold. Writing saw 26% achieve greater depth. While no progress scores are available for the current cohort, the outcomes suggest pupils typically leave Year 6 with a secure foundation in the core subjects.
