School overview

Ling Moor Primary Academy is a primary school serving Lincolnshire, classified by the DfE as a converter academy. It has 414 pupils aged 4 to 11 on roll. In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 86% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — well above the national average of 61%. That marks an improvement of 11.0 percentage points in the proportion reaching the expected standard on the previous year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it among the top 12% of primary schools in England.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 108 in reading and 108 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 12% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). Competition for places is real here - 98% of first-choice applicants were offered a Reception place for September 2026 (60 first choices for 59 places). Overall pupil absence was 3.4%. There are about 26.4 pupils per teacher. Ling Moor Primary Academy 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. This overview is generated automatically from the latest published DfE performance tables and Ofsted data; figures are rounded, and you can check the originals via the official links above.
