About Killingholme Primary School

Killingholme Primary School is a small state primary in North Lincolnshire, currently teaching 116 pupils against a capacity of 160, which means there is room to grow. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 45.5%, significantly above the national average and a clear indicator of the area's socioeconomic profile. Despite this, the school is not oversubscribed: for the 2025/26 intake, it offered all 16 first-preference applicants a place, with exactly 16 applications received for 16 places. This 1:1 ratio suggests a settled, local intake rather than a school under pressure from demand. The school serves children from age 3, with nursery provision on site, and is mixed-gender with no religious character. Headteacher Carol Eaton leads a team that has clearly focused on stability and improvement, as the school has moved from a Requires Improvement rating in 2017 to a solid Good in its most recent graded inspection.
