About The St Lawrence Academy

The St Lawrence Academy in North Lincolnshire is a Church of England secondary school for 11 to 16 year olds that is currently significantly oversubscribed. The school has 806 pupils on roll against a stated capacity of just 180, a mismatch that signals very strong local demand. This is a school serving a community with high levels of economic disadvantage: 58.3% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, well above the national average. The school is one of 15 state secondaries in the North Lincolnshire local authority, and its nearest Outstanding-rated neighbour, Outwood Academy Foxhills, is 1.1 km away. The headteacher is Daniel Ellerby, and the school’s mixed gender intake reflects its comprehensive, non-selective character.
