About North Cockerington Church of England Primary School

North Cockerington Church of England Primary School is a small state primary in the Lincolnshire local authority, serving 80 pupils aged 4 to 11 in the East Lindsey borough. Within the same local authority, it ranks 119th out of 280 primary schools, placing it in the bottom half of the cohort. The top-performing peers in the area include Quadring Cowley & Brown's Primary School, Deeping St Nicholas Primary School, and The Tydd St Mary Church of England Primary School, all of which score higher on the same ranking metric. The school is oversubscribed for the 2025/26 academic year, receiving 21 applications for 11 places, with all 11 first-preference offers accepted. This suggests strong local demand despite the school's middling position in the LA rankings. Its Church of England character and headteacher Becky Dhami lead a school that is noticeably smaller than many local primaries, operating at near-full capacity of 84 places.
