About St Giles Academy

St Giles Academy in Lincoln is a primary school whose headline metrics place it well below the local authority average for Lincolnshire. In the most recent Key Stage 2 results, just 22% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a Lincolnshire average of 57%. That is a gap of 35 percentage points, and it puts the school at the very bottom of the local rankings: it sits 235th out of 280 primary schools in the county, and in the bottom 50% nationally. The school’s ranking score of 22 out of 100 reflects this, and no pupils achieved the higher standard in reading, writing and maths. These figures are a stark contrast to the top-performing schools in the area, such as Quadring Cowley & Brown’s Primary School, which scored 100.
