About New Holland Church of England and Methodist Primary School

New Holland Church of England and Methodist Primary School is a small state primary in North Lincolnshire, currently operating well below its capacity. With 41 pupils against a school capacity of 84, it has space to grow, yet the latest admission data for the 2025/26 intake shows it was oversubscribed: 4 first-preference applications were made for 4 places, and 7 total applications were received for those same places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.75. The school serves a community with above-average levels of disadvantage — 30.8% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, compared with the national primary average of around 23%. This context matters when interpreting the school’s academic profile, as schools with higher FSM percentages often face additional challenges. The school has a Church of England and Methodist religious character and offers nursery provision for children from age 3. It is led by headteacher Hayley Twidale.
