About Waltham Leas Primary Academy

Waltham Leas Primary Academy is a state-funded mixed primary school in North East Lincolnshire, serving children aged 5 to 11. In the local authority’s rankings of 42 primary schools, it sits at 17th place, placing it comfortably within the top half of its peers. The three highest-ranked schools in the same area are Stallingborough CofE Primary School, East Ravendale CofE Primary School Academy, and Great Coates Primary School, all of which score higher on the same ranking metric. Waltham Leas’s ranking score of 69 puts it some way behind those top performers, but it still outperforms the majority of schools in the borough. The school is led by headteacher Jane Thompson and has a capacity of 420 pupils, with 419 currently on roll, meaning it is effectively full. Its most recent Ofsted inspection, carried out in November 2023, awarded a Good rating across all five graded categories, including quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. This is a consistent improvement from its previous inspection in 2014, which also rated overall effectiveness as Good but gave early years provision a lower grade.
