Tattershall Primary School
About Tattershall Primary School
Tattershall Primary School is a state-funded mixed primary for children aged 4 to 11, and it is genuinely popular with local families. The school has a published capacity of 140 pupils and currently has 141 on roll, so it is running at full occupancy. For the 2025/26 intake, the school offered 20 places and received 47 total applications, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.35. All 20 first-preference applicants were offered a place, which suggests that while demand is strong, families who put it first have a good chance of getting in. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 31.9%, which is notably higher than the national average for primary schools and indicates a catchment with above-average levels of economic disadvantage. The school does not have a religious character, so admissions are not tied to faith criteria. Lyndsey Wood is the headteacher, and the school sits within the Lincolnshire local authority, in the East Lindsey borough.
