About Queen Mary Avenue Infant School

Queen Mary Avenue Infant School is a state primary in North East Lincolnshire that currently educates 309 children aged three to seven, against a school capacity of 335, meaning it is not yet full. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 54.5%, which is notably high and well above the national average, reflecting the demographic of the local area. Demand for places is strong: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 90 applications for 64 total places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.41. All 64 first-preference applicants were offered a place, suggesting that while the school is popular, families who put it first are likely to secure a spot. The school also offers nursery provision, which may help with early years transitions. Headteacher Melanie Castle leads a mixed-gender, non-religious school that does not have a sixth form or boarding facilities.
