About Welton St Mary's Church of England Primary Academy

Welton St Mary's Church of England Primary Academy is rated Good overall by Ofsted, a significant improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating. In its most recent graded inspection in 2013, the school achieved Good, and an ungraded inspection in 2022 confirmed it remains Good. Leadership and Management, however, were judged Outstanding in that 2013 inspection. The most telling academic metric for this 4-11 primary school is the Key Stage 2 combined reading, writing and maths expected standard: 75% of pupils met this benchmark in the 2023/24 academic year. That is well above the Lincolnshire local authority average of 57%, placing the school in the top 25% nationally for this measure. In West Lindsey, it ranks 7th out of 41 primary schools, and 37th out of 280 across the whole county.
