About The Sibsey Free Primary School

The Sibsey Free Primary School is a state primary in East Lindsey, Lincolnshire, and it is genuinely popular with local families. The school has 173 pupils on roll, which is just slightly over its official capacity of 170, and this demand is reflected in its admissions data. For the 2025/26 intake, the school offered 25 places from 47 total applications, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.88. Of those 47 applications, 27 were first-preference choices, and all 25 places went to first-preference families. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 21.4%, which is higher than the national primary average of around 23% but still indicates a mixed intake. The school has no religious character and is led by headteacher Graeme Wright. Its most recent Ofsted inspection, an ungraded visit in October 2022, confirmed the school remains Good, a rating it has held consistently since its first graded inspection in 2011.
