About Ulceby St Nicholas Church of England Primary School

Ulceby St Nicholas Church of England Primary School is a small village primary in North Lincolnshire, currently home to 100 pupils against a total capacity of 175. That means the school is operating at just over half its potential size, which gives it a notably spacious feel compared to many primaries. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 24%, which is higher than the national average of around 23% and suggests the school serves a community with above-average levels of economic disadvantage. Despite this, demand for places is solid: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 19 applications for its 15 Reception places, making it officially oversubscribed. All 15 first-preference applicants were offered a place, so while you can't bank on getting in automatically, if you live close enough to list it first, your chances are very good. The school is a Church of England foundation, and its headteacher is Andrea Commins.
