About Monkshouse Primary Academy

Monkshouse Primary Academy is a state-funded, mixed primary school in South Holland, Lincolnshire, that currently educates 463 pupils against a capacity of 420, meaning it is operating above its official number of places.

The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 15.9%, which is notably higher than the national primary average of around 23% but still indicates a significant minority of children from lower-income households.
