About The Metheringham Primary School

The Metheringham Primary School holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained across its two most recent inspections, with the latest full inspection taking place in 2022. The school’s most telling academic metric is its Key Stage 2 combined reading, writing and maths expected standard score, where 55% of pupils met the benchmark in the 2023/24 academic year. This places the school slightly below the Lincolnshire local authority average of 57%, a modest gap of two percentage points. Within the North Kesteven district, the school ranks 30th out of 41 primary schools on this measure, putting it in the bottom half locally. Nationally, it sits around the 69th percentile, meaning roughly three in ten schools across England perform lower on this combined measure. The school’s overall Ofsted rating reflects consistent quality across all inspected areas, including behaviour, leadership, and early years provision, all judged Good.
