About The Richmond Primary Academy

The Richmond Primary Academy is a mixed state primary school in East Lindsey, Lincolnshire, serving children aged 4 to 11. With 389 pupils on roll against a capacity of 420, the school is operating close to its limit but still has some room to grow. Its intake reflects a significantly higher-than-average level of disadvantage: 38% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, compared with the national primary average of around 23%. This context matters when interpreting the school’s performance data. Demand for places is strong — for the 2025/26 academic year, the school received 85 applications for 50 places, an oversubscription ratio of 1.7. Of those, 45 were first-preference applications, and all 45 received offers. So while the school is oversubscribed overall, families who put it first have a very good chance of securing a place. The school has no religious character and does not offer nursery provision or a sixth form.
