About Old Leake Primary Academy

Old Leake Primary Academy sits in the bottom half of primary schools in Lincolnshire, and its headline Key Stage 2 results are notably below the local authority average. In the 2023/24 academic year, 50% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a Lincolnshire average of 57%. That gap of seven percentage points places the school 170th out of 280 primaries in the county, and 11th out of 15 in the Boston district. The school’s ranking score of 50 puts it in the bottom 50% nationally, and its percentile position in the East Midlands (76.5) suggests most regional primaries outperform it. However, the picture is not uniformly weak. In reading, 67% of pupils met the expected standard, and 43% achieved a higher standard — a stronger showing than in maths, where 73% reached the expected level but only 20% reached the higher threshold. The average reading score of 103 and maths score of 104 are both close to the national benchmark of 100.
