About The Gainsborough Charles Baines Community Primary School

The Gainsborough Charles Baines Community Primary School received a Requires Improvement rating from Ofsted following its most recent graded inspection in January 2025, a drop from the Good rating it held previously. The inspection judged quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, early years provision, and leadership and management all as requiring improvement, though personal development was rated Good. On the key academic measure for primary schools, the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined stood at 41% in the 2023/24 academic year. That figure sits well below the Lincolnshire local authority average of 57% and places the school 33rd out of 41 primary schools in the West Lindsey district. Nationally, it ranks in the bottom 10% of all primary schools on this metric. Only 3% of pupils achieved the higher standard across all three subjects, and progress scores for reading, writing and maths were not reported.
