About Hogsthorpe Primary Academy

Hogsthorpe Primary Academy is a small state primary in East Lindsey that clearly appeals to local families. In the 2025/26 admissions round, the school received 13 applications for just 4 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 3.25, meaning more than three families applied for every available spot. All 4 first-preference applicants were offered a place, which suggests that for those who put it top of their list, the school is a realistic option despite its popularity. The school has a Good rating from Ofsted across all five graded categories in its most recent 2024 inspection, including behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and early years provision. This marks a consistent performance, as the school also held a Good rating in its previous 2013 inspection. With just 56 pupils on roll against a capacity of 70, the school is not at full capacity, yet the high application numbers indicate strong local demand.
