The John Harrox Primary School, Moulton
About The John Harrox Primary School, Moulton
The John Harrox Primary School in Moulton is a state primary for children aged 5 to 11, and it’s currently running very close to full capacity with 268 pupils against a school capacity of 280. That near-full roll makes sense when you look at the demand: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 62 applications for just 40 places, with 41 of those coming as first preferences. That gives an oversubscription ratio of 1.55, meaning for every place available, more than one and a half families wanted it. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals sits at 19.8%, which is worth noting against the national average for primary schools, though the data doesn’t give a direct local authority comparator for this metric. The school is mixed and has no religious character, so it’s a straightforward community option for families in the South Holland area of Lincolnshire.
