About Billingborough Primary School

Billingborough Primary School is a primary school in Sleaford, Lincolnshire, classified by the DfE as a converter academy. Around 113 pupils aged 3 to 11 attend the school. In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 63% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — broadly in line with the national average of 61%. That is down 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 102 in reading and 102 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 4% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). Billingborough Primary School was not oversubscribed for September 2026: all 15 families who put it first were offered a place. There are about 43.5 pupils per teacher. Billingborough 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.
