About Morton Trentside Primary School

Morton Trentside Primary School is a popular choice among local families, and the numbers back that up. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 46 applications for just 24 places, giving it an oversubscription ratio of 1.92. That means nearly two families applied for every available spot, and all 24 first-preference offers were taken up. While the school doesn't publish a parent-view survey recommendation percentage, the high demand suggests a strong reputation in the West Lindsey area. The school is a state primary for mixed genders aged 3 to 11, with a nursery on site, and is led by headteacher Carrie-Ann Jackson. It has a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has held across its two most recent inspections, including an ungraded visit in 2023 that confirmed the school remains Good.
