About Belton Lane Community Primary School

Belton Lane Community Primary School in Grantham was rated Good in its most recent Ofsted inspection in May 2025, with inspectors awarding Good across every category they judged: quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. That consistency is worth noting, because the school’s previous inspection in 2011 also rated it Good overall, though early years provision at that time was a weaker Requires Improvement. The most telling exam metric comes from the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 results: 63% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That is six percentage points above the Lincolnshire local authority average of 57%, placing Belton Lane 22nd out of 48 primary schools in South Kesteven and in the top half nationally. The school’s ranking score of 63 puts it in the top 50% tier of all primary schools in England.
