About The Nettleham Church of England Voluntary Aided Junior School

When you compare The Nettleham Church of England Voluntary Aided Junior School against the Lincolnshire local authority average for primary schools, the picture is one of a solidly performing school that sits just below the middle of the pack. Its key headline metric — the percentage of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — stands at 54 per cent, which is three percentage points lower than the LA average of 57 per cent. This places the school 146th out of 280 primary schools in the county, putting it in the bottom half of Lincolnshire’s state primaries. Within the West Lindsey district specifically, it ranks 24th out of 41 schools, a position that reflects a broadly average performance for its immediate area. The school is not among the top performers locally — the top three schools in the LA all score above 88 on the ranking metric — but it is also not an outlier at the bottom. For parents weighing up options in the Lincolnshire area, this data suggests a school that delivers results in line with the typical local primary, without the standout academic profile of the highest-ranked peers.
