Shepeau Stow Primary School

About Shepeau Stow Primary School

Shepeau Stow Primary School received a Requires Improvement rating from Ofsted in its most recent inspection in 2025, a judgement that reflects ongoing challenges in the classroom. The school was not given an overall effectiveness grade in that inspection, but the breakdown shows that both the quality of education and early years provision were rated as Requires Improvement, while personal development and behaviour and attitudes were judged Good. The most telling academic metric is the Key Stage 2 combined reading, writing and maths expected standard: just 40% of pupils reached this benchmark in the 2023/24 academic year, compared with a local authority average of 57%. That places the school 209th out of 280 primary schools in Lincolnshire and in the bottom half nationally. No pupils achieved the higher standard in all three subjects, and progress scores were not published, so it is difficult to track individual pupil gains. The school’s ranking within South Holland is 27th out of 32 schools, putting it in the bottom tier locally.
