About The Lincoln St Peter at Gowts Church of England Primary School

The Lincoln St Peter at Gowts Church of England Primary School is a primary school in LINCOLN, Lincolnshire, classified by the DfE as a voluntary controlled school with a Church of England religious character. Around 264 pupils aged 2 to 11 attend the school. The school holds an 'Outstanding' judgement from Ofsted. 65% 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 19.0 percentage points compared with the previous 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 107 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 6% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). The school serves a community with above-average levels of disadvantage: about 46% of pupils have been eligible for free school meals in the last six years, compared with roughly 24% nationally — useful context when reading the results above. Given the recent dip in results, it may be worth asking the school what is behind the change and what is being done in response.
