About Bottesford Junior School

Bottesford Junior School holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a significant improvement from its previous Requires Improvement judgement. The most telling academic metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which sits at 67%. That is five percentage points above the North Lincolnshire average of 62%, placing the school 15th out of 51 primary schools in the local authority. In individual subjects, writing stands out with 88% of pupils meeting the expected standard, while reading and maths follow at 79% and 77% respectively. At the higher standard, 9% of pupils achieved the top marks across all three subjects. The school's average scaled scores of 105 in both reading and maths are solidly above the national benchmark of 100. This performance profile suggests a school that is reliably delivering above-average outcomes for its pupils, particularly in writing, and has clearly turned a corner since its previous inspection.
