Deeping St Nicholas Primary School
About Deeping St Nicholas Primary School
Deeping St Nicholas Primary School has been rated Good in its most recent graded Ofsted inspection, a significant improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating. The school's leadership and management, as well as its early years provision, were both judged Good. But the most telling academic metric is the Key Stage 2 results for reading, writing and maths combined. An impressive 89% of pupils met the expected standard in all three subjects, placing the school second out of 32 primary schools in the South Holland local authority. This puts it firmly in the top five per cent of schools locally, and within the top three per cent nationally. The school's ranking score of 89 reflects strong, consistent performance, and it sits just behind the top-ranked school in the area, Quadring Cowley & Brown's Primary School.
