Winchelsea Primary School Ruskington
About Winchelsea Primary School Ruskington
Winchelsea Primary School Ruskington’s Key Stage 2 results sit noticeably below the Lincolnshire local authority average, which is a key point for parents weighing up their options. In the 2023/24 academic year, 45% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with the LA average of 57%. That twelve-point gap places the school in the bottom half of primary schools in North Kesteven, ranked 36th out of 41 in the district and in the bottom 50% nationally. The picture is mixed when you look at individual subjects: reading scores are the strongest, with 70% of pupils hitting the expected level and 30% reaching the higher standard, while maths and writing trail behind at 64% and 55% respectively. The school’s maths average score of 102 and reading average of 103 are both close to the national benchmark of 100, but the overall combined figure suggests that many children are not securing all three core subjects at the expected level by the end of Year 6.
