About Welbourne Primary Academy

Welbourne Primary Academy’s headline KS2 results sit below the Peterborough local authority average, where 59% of pupils reach the expected standard in reading, writing and maths. At Welbourne, that figure is 50%, placing the school 39th out of 60 primaries in the area and in the bottom half nationally. This gap is worth noting, but the school’s overall Ofsted rating of Good, confirmed in its most recent inspection in 2023, suggests that inspectors see solid foundations in place. The school has held a Good rating across both its recent inspections, with the previous one in 2014 also grading it Good overall. In 2023, every category inspected — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision — was rated Good. So while the raw attainment numbers trail the LA average, the school is not struggling in the ways that would trigger an Ofsted downgrade.
