About Hibaldstow Academy

Hibaldstow Academy is a small state primary in North Lincolnshire, serving 106 pupils aged 4 to 11 under headteacher Zoe Birchall. In the local authority’s primary school rankings, it sits at 34th out of 51 schools, placing it in the bottom half of the table. Its ranking score of 57 puts it well behind the top three peers in the area: Winteringham Primary School (92), South Ferriby Primary School (89), and St Mary’s Catholic Primary Voluntary Academy in Brigg (87). The school is oversubscribed for the 2025/26 intake, with 26 applications for 15 places and all 15 first-preference offers taken up, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.73. This suggests that despite its middling rank, the school holds strong local appeal, particularly among families who prioritise a smaller setting and a broad range of facilities.
