About Holton Le Clay Infant School

Holton Le Clay Infant School is a small state primary in Lincolnshire, currently home to 71 pupils against a capacity of 150, meaning it is operating at under half its potential size. This is a notably low occupancy for a school that, according to its 2025/26 admissions data, is actually oversubscribed: 20 applications were received for 17 places, with all 17 first-preference families offered a spot, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.18. The school serves a relatively affluent local population, with 12.7% of pupils eligible for free school meals — below the national average for primary schools, which typically sits around 23-24%. As a mixed-gender infant school for children aged 5 to 7, it feeds into a junior school at Year 3, and its small size means class groups are intimate. The headteacher is Dawne Hunt, who leads a team that has maintained a steady reputation locally, despite the school not being among the highest-ranked in the local authority.
