About Holbeach Primary Academy

Holbeach Primary Academy sits within the Lincolnshire local authority, a state-funded mixed primary for children aged 4 to 11. In the South Holland district, it ranks 12th out of 32 primary schools, placing it in the top half of local schools. Its ranking score of 56, based on the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, puts it just below the local authority average of 57. The top-performing peers in the area are Quadring Cowley & Brown's Primary School, Deeping St Nicholas Primary School and The Tydd St Mary Church of England Primary School, all of which score higher on the same metric. Across the wider Lincolnshire authority, Holbeach ranks 128th out of 280 primary schools, meaning it sits comfortably in the middle of the pack. For families looking at schools in the South Holland area, it offers a solid, well-regarded option without the highest local scores.
