About Stamford St Gilberts Church of England Primary School

Stamford St Gilberts Church of England Primary School is a state primary for mixed pupils aged 4 to 11 in South Kesteven, Lincolnshire. With 297 pupils on roll against a capacity of 315, the school is nearly full but still has a small number of spare places. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 14.5 per cent, which is slightly above the national primary average of around 13 per cent, suggesting a modestly higher-than-average level of disadvantage in the intake. Demand for places is strong: for the 2025/26 admissions round, the school received 113 applications for just 36 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 3.14. All 36 first-preference applicants were offered a place, indicating that while the school is popular, families who put it first are very likely to get in. The school has a Church of England religious character and is led by headteacher Frances Dicker.
