About Deeping St Nicholas Primary School

Deeping St Nicholas Primary School is a primary school in Spalding, Lincolnshire, classified by the DfE as a community school. Around 68 pupils aged 4 to 11 attend the school. 56% of its pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at the end of Key Stage 2, broadly in line with the national average (national figure: 61%). The proportion reaching the expected standard has fallen by 33.0 percentage points compared with the previous year, though small year groups can make these figures swing sharply from year to year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it around the middle of primary schools nationally.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 104 in reading and 101 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 11% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). Deeping St Nicholas Primary School is oversubscribed: about 9 in 10 of the families who made it their first choice were offered a Reception place for September 2026, with 14 first choices for 12 places. Overall pupil absence was 3.6%. There are about 22.7 pupils per teacher. Deeping St Nicholas Primary School does not currently have a recent graded Ofsted judgement on record (often the case for newer or recently converted schools), so it is worth asking when its next inspection is expected.
