About Great Steeping Primary School

Great Steeping Primary School sits in the bottom half of Lincolnshire primary schools when measured by the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at Key Stage 2. Its score of 54% on that metric is three points below the local authority average of 57%, placing it 148th out of 280 schools of the same type in the county. In the East Lindsey district specifically, the school ranks 29th out of 47 primaries, putting it in the bottom 50% nationally. These headline figures suggest a school that is broadly in line with or slightly behind its peers, though the gap is modest rather than alarming. The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023 rated overall effectiveness as Requires Improvement, a downgrade from its previous Good rating in 2013. Inspectors noted that behaviour and attitudes, as well as personal development, remain Good, but quality of education, leadership and management, and early years provision all require improvement.
