Kirmington CofE Primary School
About Kirmington CofE Primary School
Kirmington CofE Primary School is a small Church of England primary in North Lincolnshire that clearly appeals to local families. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received six applications for just three places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2:1. All three first-preference applicants were offered a place, which suggests that while the school is popular, it remains accessible for those who put it first. The school has a nursery provision, which may be a factor for families with younger children. With a total of 63 pupils on roll against a capacity of 52, the school is operating above its official capacity, which further underlines its local demand. The headteacher is Luan Sowerby, and the school’s religious character is Church of England. The most recent Ofsted inspection, an ungraded visit in July 2024, confirmed that the school remains Good, though inspectors noted concerns that led to a "School remains Good (Concerns) - S5 Next" outcome.
