About Nettleton Community Primary School

Nettleton Community Primary School is a small state primary in the Lincolnshire local authority, serving just 73 pupils from ages 4 to 11. Within West Lindsey, the school ranks 31st out of 41 primary schools, placing it in the bottom half of its immediate area. The top-performing peers in the same local authority include Quadring Cowley & Brown's Primary School, Deeping St Nicholas Primary School, and The Tydd St Mary Church of England Primary School, all of which score higher on the same ranking metric. Nettleton's ranking score of 43 puts it well behind these local leaders, and it sits in the bottom 50 nationally among primary schools.

Headteacher Nichola Allerston leads a school that has improved since its previous Ofsted inspection, moving from a Requires Improvement rating in 2013 to a Good rating in its most recent graded inspection in 2014, with an ungraded inspection in 2022 confirming it remains Good.
