Pilgrim Academy

School overview

Pilgrim Academy is a primary school serving Immingham, North East Lincolnshire, classified by the DfE as a converter academy. It has 250 pupils aged 3 to 11 on roll. At its most recent graded inspection, Ofsted rated Pilgrim Academy 'Good'. In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 65% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — broadly in line with the national average of 61%. That is down 5.0 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 around the middle of primary schools nationally.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 104 in reading and 105 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 5% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). Pilgrim Academy was not oversubscribed for September 2026: all 17 families who put it first were offered a place. Overall pupil absence was 7.4%. There are about 16.5 pupils per teacher. 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.
