About The St Peter and St Paul C of E Primary School

The St Peter and St Paul C of E Primary School in East Lindsey sits below the local authority average for Key Stage 2 outcomes, with 42% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with the Lincolnshire average of 57%. That gap of 15 percentage points places the school in the bottom half of primary schools nationally, ranking 40th out of 47 in the East Lindsey district and in the 89th percentile nationally. However, the school’s most recent Ofsted inspection in 2022 rated it Good across all categories, a notable improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating in 2018. This suggests a school that has turned a corner under headteacher David Hurdman, even if the academic data hasn’t yet caught up with the broader quality of education. The school is oversubscribed, receiving 55 applications for 30 places in 2025/26, with 27 first-preference offers made from 34 first-preference applications, indicating strong local demand despite the below-average headline results.
