School figures

Coloured bars compare this school with the average for other schools in LN11. Where we have them, council (East Lindsey) and England figures appear under FSM, SEN and attendance. FSM, SEN and EAL are context, not quality scores. For attendance, higher is usually better.

Cordeaux Academy merged into this school in September 2018. These figures are for this school only, not for Cordeaux Academy.

Compared with England

Persistent absence is 2024/25. Headline GCSE measures are 2024/25. Progress 8 is from 2023/24, the latest year published for this school. There is no Progress 8 for 2024/25 or 2025/26, because those pupils did not sit Key Stage 2 tests during the pandemic. England is the state-funded average from the same tables. Progress 8 of 0 is typical.
