About Havelock Academy

Havelock Academy is a secondary school in North East Lincolnshire that receives strong endorsement from its parent community, with 68% of respondents saying they would recommend the school to other parents. That figure comes from the most recent Parent View survey, which also shows that 79% of parents agree or strongly agree that their child is happy at the school, and 74% say their child does well there. The school is clearly popular locally: for the 2025/26 admissions round, it received 228 applications for 153 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.49. Of those, 143 were first-preference applications, and all 143 first-preference families were offered a place. The school's most recent Ofsted inspection, in 2023, rated it Good across all categories including behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership. That marks a significant improvement from its previous inspection in 2019, when it was rated Requires Improvement.
