About Ingoldmells Academy

Ingoldmells Academy is a primary school in East Lindsey that clearly appeals to local families. In the 2025/26 admissions round, the school received 20 applications for just 10 places, giving it an oversubscription ratio of 2:1. Nine of those applications were first-preference choices, suggesting strong local confidence. The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection, an ungraded visit in February 2024, confirmed it remains Good overall, with leadership and management rated Outstanding. That’s a notable signal for parents: the school is being run with real skill, even if some other areas weren’t separately graded this time. With 124 pupils on roll against a capacity of 150, the school isn’t bursting at the seams, but demand clearly outstrips supply. The high oversubscription rate, combined with the leadership rating, points to a school that local parents trust and want their children to attend.
