About The Little Gonerby Church of England Primary Academy, Grantham

The Little Gonerby Church of England Primary Academy, Grantham, is a state primary school that, based on the most recent available data, serves a community with a notably high proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals at 32.1 per cent. When it comes to Key Stage 2 outcomes, the school sits below the Lincolnshire local authority average of 57, a figure that represents the percentage of pupils meeting the expected standard in reading, writing and maths. This gap suggests that, while the school is not outperforming its peers on this headline metric, it is working with a cohort that faces above-average levels of disadvantage, which often correlates with lower attainment scores. Parents considering the school should weigh this context carefully: the school's raw results reflect its intake, not necessarily its effectiveness, and the local authority itself has only ten outstanding primaries out of 280, meaning a Good rating is the norm rather than the exception.
