About Reynolds Primary Academy

Reynolds Primary Academy in North East Lincolnshire was rated Requires Improvement overall in its most recent Ofsted inspection in September 2024, a drop from its previous Good rating in 2015. The inspection found that while behaviour and attitudes, and early years provision remain Good, the quality of education and leadership and management both require improvement. The most telling academic metric is the Key Stage 2 combined reading, writing and maths expected standard: just 34% of pupils reached this benchmark in 2023/24, compared with a local authority average of 64%. That places the school 41st out of 42 primary schools in North East Lincolnshire, and in the bottom 5% nationally. Only 2% of pupils achieved the higher standard in reading, writing and maths combined, though individual subject scores were more mixed — 62% met the expected standard in reading, and 51% in maths, while writing lagged at 43%.
