White's Wood Academy
About White's Wood Academy
White's Wood Academy, a state primary for pupils aged 7 to 11 in West Lindsey, sits well below the local authority average on the key headline measure of KS2 performance. In the 2023/24 academic year, just 36% of its pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a Lincolnshire average of 57%. That 21-point gap is significant and places the school in the bottom half of primaries nationally, ranking 38th out of 41 schools in West Lindsey. The picture is mixed when you look at individual subjects: 56% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, and 49% did so in maths, but writing lagged behind at 47%. Higher-attaining pupils are scarce too — only 5% achieved a high score in maths, 10% in reading and 2% in writing. These figures suggest the school faces considerable challenges in lifting attainment across the board, particularly in writing.
