About schools in North East Lincolnshire
- How many schools are there in North East Lincolnshire?
- North East Lincolnshire has 70 open schools — 50 primary, 11 secondary, 2 special, 2 nursery, teaching 23,159 pupils in total.
- How many schools in North East Lincolnshire are rated Good or Outstanding?
- 55 of the 58 schools holding an Ofsted grade — 95% — are rated Good or Outstanding, including 3 rated Outstanding. That share is measured against graded schools, not all 70: a school inspected since September 2024 has no overall grade at all.
- What is the average Academic Performance in North East Lincolnshire?
- 5.1 out of 10, averaged across the 66 schools here that can be scored, where 5 is the national average. Academic Performance combines the Ofsted judgement with DfE attainment and is ranked against comparable schools, so it is neither figure on its own.
- Why do some North East Lincolnshire schools have no Ofsted rating?
- 12 schools in North East Lincolnshire currently hold no overall grade. Ofsted stopped awarding single-word judgements in September 2024 and moved to a report card of separately graded areas, so schools inspected since then have no overall rating whatever the inspection found. Their profiles show the report card instead.
- What does North East Lincolnshire local authority do?
- A local authority is the body responsible for state education in its area — the level most admissions and school-place decisions are made at. North East Lincolnshire covers 70 schools and sits in the Yorkshire and The Humber region. It does not run academies or independent schools directly, though it still coordinates admissions for most of them.
- How many pupils in North East Lincolnshire are eligible for free school meals?
- 34.5% — 7,851 of 22,775 pupils at the 65 schools that report it. Independent schools file a return with roll and sex only, so they are outside this figure rather than counted as zero.
