Wragby Primary School

About Wragby Primary School

Wragby Primary School is a state primary in East Lindsey, Lincolnshire, currently educating 171 pupils against a capacity of 210, so there is some room for growth. The school serves a community with above-average economic disadvantage: 31% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, compared with the national primary average of around 24%. This context makes the school’s popularity all the more notable. For the 2025/26 intake, the school was oversubscribed, receiving 40 applications for 30 places, with 31 of those applications coming from first-preference families. That oversubscription ratio of 1.33 suggests a solid local reputation. The school is mixed, non-denominational, and caters for children aged 4 to 11. Its headteacher is Rachel Osgodby. The most recent Ofsted inspection, in November 2024, rated the school Good overall, with all inspected categories — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision — each judged Good.

Academically, Wragby’s Key Stage 2 results for the 2023/24 year show a mixed picture. The proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined was 57%, which matches the local authority average of 57% exactly. That puts the school 126th out of 280 primaries in Lincolnshire, and in the bottom half nationally. However, individual subject results are stronger: 77% reached the expected standard in writing, 67% in reading, and 60% in maths. At the higher standard, 30% achieved above the expected level in reading, 27% in maths, and 13% in writing, but only 7% hit the higher benchmark across all three subjects. Average scaled scores were 104 in reading and 103 in maths, both slightly above the national average of 100. The school’s Ofsted report noted that behaviour and attitudes are Good, and the Parent View survey backs this up: 100% of the 39 respondents agreed or strongly agreed that their child feels safe, and 97% would recommend the school.

Wragby offers a decent range of facilities for a primary of its size, including a library, playing fields, ICT suite, art studios, music rooms, and a chapel. Sports provision covers athletics, netball, cross country, and rounders, while after-school clubs include film, science, art, eco, and chess. The school has a strong SEND framework, with provisions for specific learning difficulties like dyslexia, moderate learning difficulties, social, emotional and mental health needs, speech, language and communication needs, physical disabilities, and autistic spectrum disorder. The Parent View data on SEND support was inconclusive due to low response numbers, but the school’s Ofsted report rated personal development Good. This is a school that suits families in the Wragby area who want a well-regarded local primary with a strong pastoral focus and a broad range of activities, but who are realistic about academic outcomes being around the local average rather than exceptional. The oversubscription suggests it is a popular choice among those who know it.
