About West Grantham Church of England Primary Academy

West Grantham Church of England Primary Academy has turned a significant corner, with Ofsted now rating it Good overall following an inspection in October 2023.

The turnaround is consistent across every area inspected: quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision all received a Good rating.

That figure sits below the Lincolnshire local authority average of 57%, and places the school 41st out of 48 primary schools in South Kesteven.
