Red dashed line = one first choice per place. How to read this

Every child who put Caythorpe Primary School first was offered a place in 2026, so no distance cut-off applied: living further away did not cost a place that year.

Application figures: DfE, school level applications and offers (2026 intake).

Caythorpe Primary School at a glance

Located in Grantham, Lincolnshire, Caythorpe Primary School is a primary school, classified by the DfE as a converter academy. The school educates roughly 100 pupils aged 4 to 11. In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 46% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — below the national average of 61%. That marks an improvement of 1.0 percentage points in the proportion reaching the expected standard on 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 in the lower half of primary schools nationally.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 104 in reading and 103 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 8% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). Caythorpe Primary School was not oversubscribed for September 2026: all 6 families who put it first were offered a place. Overall pupil absence was 6.1%. There are about 17.7 pupils per teacher. Caythorpe 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. 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.
