About The South Hykeham Community Primary School

The South Hykeham Community Primary School is a small state primary in North Kesteven, Lincolnshire, currently operating slightly above its official capacity of 140 pupils with 144 on roll. This oversubscription is reflected in its admission data for the 2025/26 intake, where the school received 35 applications for just nine places, giving a ratio of nearly four applicants per spot. Only six of those were first-preference offers, suggesting strong local demand despite the school’s modest size. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 11.8%, which is below the national average for primary schools and indicates a relatively affluent intake compared with many Lincolnshire primaries. The school is mixed, non-denominational, and serves children aged four to eleven, with no nursery or sixth form provision. Its headteacher is John Richardson, who leads a team in a setting where the pupil count has crept just beyond capacity, hinting at a popular choice among local families.
