About Old Clee Primary Academy

Old Clee Primary Academy was rated Good in its most recent graded Ofsted inspection in 2017, and a subsequent ungraded inspection in 2023 confirmed the school remains Good. That marks a clear improvement from its previous 2015 inspection, when the school was rated Requires Improvement overall. The most telling exam metric comes from the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 results: 69% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That is five percentage points above the North East Lincolnshire local authority average of 64%, placing the school 16th out of 42 primaries in the area. It also ranks in the top 50 nationally for this measure, sitting at the 38th percentile within its local authority. With 510 pupils on a capacity of 630, the school is not yet full, but it is oversubscribed: for 2025/26 entry, 79 families applied for 47 places, and all 47 first-preference applicants were offered a spot.
