About Crosby Primary School

Crosby Primary School is a popular choice among local families, with 49 first-preference applications for its 52 reception places in the 2025/26 admissions round, making it officially oversubscribed at a ratio of 1.58 applicants per place. That level of demand suggests a strong reputation among parents in North Lincolnshire, though the school does not publish a formal parent-view survey percentage to back that up. The school is a large state primary for children aged 3 to 11, with a current roll of 546 pupils against a capacity of 577, so there is a little breathing room. It has a notably high proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals at 42.6%, well above the national average, which gives a sense of the community it serves. The headteacher is Sarah Richardson-Lumley, and the school has no religious character.
