Grimoldby Primary School
About Grimoldby Primary School
Grimoldby Primary School is clearly a popular choice among local families. In the 2025/26 admissions round, the school received 50 applications for just 27 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.85, meaning nearly two families applied for every available spot. All 27 first-preference applicants were offered a place, which suggests that for those who list it first, the school is a realistic option. While the school does not publish a parent recommendation percentage, the high demand speaks for itself. The school is a mixed, non-religious state primary for children aged 3 to 11, with a nursery provision on site. It currently has 207 pupils, just under its capacity of 210, and 20.3% of pupils are eligible for free school meals. The headteacher is Antonia Coy, who leads a school that has clearly built a strong reputation in the East Lindsey area.
