About Faldingworth Community Primary School

Faldingworth Community Primary School is a small state primary in the Lincolnshire local authority, serving 55 pupils aged 4 to 11 in the West Lindsey borough. It sits at rank 229 out of 280 same-type schools in the county, placing it in the bottom half of Lincolnshire primaries. For context, the top-performing local peers include Quadring Cowley & Brown's Primary School, Deeping St Nicholas Primary School, and The Tydd St Mary Church of England Primary School, all of which score significantly higher on the local ranking metric. The school is oversubscribed for the 2025/26 intake, with 14 applications for just 5 places, and all 5 first-preference families received offers. This suggests strong local demand despite the modest ranking. Headteacher Kerri Grummell leads a mixed, non-religious school with a capacity of 90, so there is room for growth. The school's most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023 rated it Good overall, with Good marks for leadership, early years provision, and behaviour — a notable improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating in 2008.
