The Welbourn Church of England Primary School
About The Welbourn Church of England Primary School
The Welbourn Church of England Primary School has been rated Good overall in its most recent Ofsted inspection from 2023, a notable improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating in 2019. The inspection report highlights that behaviour and attitudes are Outstanding, while quality of education, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision are all Good. However, the school’s academic outcomes tell a more challenging story. In the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 assessments, only 36% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, well below the Lincolnshire local authority average of 57%. The school ranks 40th out of 41 primary schools in North Kesteven and sits in the bottom 50 nationally for this combined measure, placing it in the 94th percentile nationally — meaning only about 6% of schools perform lower.
