About Stallingborough CofE Primary School

Stallingborough CofE Primary School holds a Good rating from Ofsted, confirmed in an ungraded visit in 2023, but the headline story is its academic performance. In the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 assessments, 93% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That figure sits well above the North East Lincolnshire local authority average of 64% and places the school first out of 42 primary schools in the area. Nationally, it ranks 123rd out of 13,686 schools, putting it in the top one per cent of primaries in England. The school also performs strongly at the higher standard, with 47% of pupils achieving greater depth in reading and 20% in both writing and maths. Average scaled scores of 109 in reading and 106 in maths are both comfortably above the national benchmark of 100.

The school’s Ofsted history provides useful context for this academic strength. Its previous graded inspection in 2014 rated it Outstanding overall, with Outstanding leadership and management. The current Good rating reflects a slight step down, but inspectors in 2023 judged early years provision, leadership and management, and overall effectiveness all as Good. The school has held a Good rating across both its recent inspections, and the ungraded visit found no reason to change that. With 122 pupils on roll against a capacity of 140, the school is not at full capacity but is oversubscribed for Reception places in 2025/26, receiving 33 applications for 20 places, with all 20 first-preference families offered a spot. That oversubscription ratio of 1.65 suggests strong local demand.

The school serves a Church of England community and offers a broad range of facilities including a music room, ICT suite, gymnasium and chapel. Sports provision covers rounders, dance, swimming, football and athletics, while clubs include science, art, book and eco clubs. SEND support is well-developed, with provisions for specific learning difficulties like dyslexia, moderate learning difficulty, speech and language needs, hearing and visual impairments, and physical disability. With 16.4% of pupils eligible for free school meals, the school serves a mixed catchment. For families in North East Lincolnshire who prioritise strong academic outcomes, particularly at the expected standard, Stallingborough CofE Primary School is a standout choice — it leads the local authority on the key KS2 combined measure and has a track record of consistent Ofsted ratings.
