About Washingborough Academy
Washingborough Academy holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained consistently across its two most recent inspections. The most recent ungraded inspection in 2023 confirmed the school remains Good, with a notable standout: its Early Years Provision was judged Outstanding. For a primary school in Lincolnshire, the key academic metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined at Key Stage 2. Here, 61% of pupils achieved that benchmark in the 2023/24 academic year, which sits above the local authority average of 57%. That places the school in the top half of primary schools nationally, ranking 7,552 out of 13,686. In the North Kesteven local authority, it ranks 23rd out of 41 schools, putting it just above the median for the area.
