About Thrunscoe Primary and Nursery Academy

Thrunscoe Primary and Nursery Academy is a mixed state primary in North East Lincolnshire, serving children aged 3 to 11. The school currently has 285 pupils on roll against a capacity of 315, leaving some physical room to grow, but demand tells a different story. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 42 applications for just 20 places, with all 20 offers going to first-preference families. That works out at an oversubscription ratio of 2.1, meaning more than two families applied for every spot. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals sits at 44.1 per cent, which is notably high compared with the national average for primary schools and suggests the school serves a community with significant economic disadvantage. Headteacher Simon Bate leads a school that, based on its intake data, is clearly popular locally despite — or perhaps because of — the challenges its pupil demographic presents.
