About St Bartholomews CofE Primary School

St Bartholomew’s CofE Primary School sits in the middle of the pack academically within Lincolnshire, but its headline KS2 figure falls short of the local authority average. Just 50% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined in the 2023/24 assessments, compared with a county average of 57%. That seven-point gap places the school 162nd out of 280 primary schools in Lincolnshire, and 17th out of 32 in the South Holland district. The picture is more nuanced when you look at individual subjects: 75% of children met the expected standard in writing, and 69% did so in reading, while maths lagged at 63%. At the higher end, only 6% of pupils achieved the higher standard in reading, writing and maths together, though 25% reached that level in reading alone. With a Progress 8 score not available, it is hard to say whether pupils are catching up or falling behind relative to their starting points, but the raw attainment data suggests the school has work to do in maths particularly.
