About Elliston Primary Academy

Elliston Primary Academy in North East Lincolnshire is a state primary for mixed pupils aged 3 to 11, currently home to 346 children against a capacity of 393. That leaves a little headroom, but the school is clearly in demand: for the 2025/26 intake, it received 69 applications for 41 places, with all 41 first-preference families offered a spot. That oversubscription ratio of 1.68 tells you this is a school local families are keen to get into. The pupil body is notably diverse in terms of disadvantage — 56.9% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, well above the national average and a strong signal that the school serves a community with significant economic challenges. It is a non-religious, co-educational academy with nursery provision, and is led by headteacher Caroline Patterson.
