About The Kirkby-on-Bain Church of England Primary School

The Kirkby-on-Bain Church of England Primary School is a state-funded mixed primary in East Lindsey, Lincolnshire, and it is currently oversubscribed. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 42 applications for 19 places, with all 19 first-preference offers accepted, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.21. This demand is notable given the school’s capacity of 105 pupils, yet it currently has 117 on roll, meaning it is operating above its official capacity. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 26.5%, which is significantly higher than the national average of around 23% and suggests the school serves a community with above-average levels of disadvantage. This demographic context is important for parents to consider, as it shapes the school’s intake and the support structures it has in place.
