About Scunthorpe CofE Primary School

Scunthorpe CofE Primary School’s headline Key Stage 2 results sit well below the North Lincolnshire average, which is a key point for parents to weigh up. The local authority average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined is 62%, but at this school just 43% of pupils hit that benchmark. That places it 45th out of 51 primary schools in the area, putting it in the bottom tier locally and nationally. The school’s ranking score of 43 reflects this gap, and its percentile of 88.4% nationally means only about 12% of schools scored lower. For context, the top-performing local schools like Winteringham Primary and South Ferriby Primary score 92 and 89 respectively. So while Scunthorpe CofE is a Good school overall, its academic outcomes at the end of primary are notably weaker than the typical North Lincolnshire school.
