About Eastoft Church of England Primary School

Eastoft Church of England Primary School is a small state primary in North Lincolnshire, with just 63 pupils on roll against a capacity of 64, meaning it runs very close to full. The school serves a community where 22.8% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, a figure notably above the national average for primary schools, which typically sits around 23-24%. Demand is strong: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 16 applications for just 6 places, with 6 of those being first-preference applications. That gives an oversubscription ratio of 2.67, meaning nearly three families compete for each spot. All 6 first-preference offers were made, but the remaining 10 applicants would have missed out. This suggests a school that is genuinely popular locally, despite its small size, and one where parents are keen to secure a place early.
