About Holbeach Bank Primary Academy

Holbeach Bank Primary Academy is a small state primary in South Holland, Lincolnshire, and the numbers suggest it is a school that local families are keen to get into. For the 2025/26 intake, the school was oversubscribed, receiving 17 applications for just 4 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 4.25. Of those 17 applications, 3 were first-preference choices, and 3 first-preference offers were made. That level of demand is a strong signal from parents who know the school first-hand. The school is led by headteacher Susan Boor and currently has 90 pupils on roll against a capacity of 105, so there is some physical room, but the competition for places is clearly real. With 53.9% of pupils eligible for free school meals, the school serves a community with significant economic disadvantage, yet parents are still actively choosing it. Ofsted last inspected in October 2022 and rated the school Good overall, with Good marks across every category including behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership and management.
