About Surfleet Primary School

Surfleet Primary School has turned a significant corner. In its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2024, the school was rated Good overall, a remarkable improvement from its previous inspection in 2020 when it was judged Inadequate. Every category — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision — now sits at Good. That turnaround is the headline story here, but the academic data tells a more complicated tale. At Key Stage 2, just 27% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That is well below the Lincolnshire local authority average of 57%, and it places Surfleet 30th out of 32 primary schools in the South Holland district. The school’s national ranking sits in the bottom 3% of all primaries on this measure. The improvement in behaviour and leadership is clear, but translating that into higher academic outcomes remains a work in progress.
