About Witham St Hughs Academy

Witham St Hughs Academy is a state primary school in North Kesteven, Lincolnshire, that is currently operating very close to its full capacity of 420 pupils, with 408 children on roll. The school serves a mixed-gender cohort aged 4 to 11 and has a non-religious character. Its percentage of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 12 per cent, a figure that is worth noting against the national average for primary schools, though the data does not provide a direct local authority comparator for this metric. Demand for places is clearly strong: for the 2025/26 academic year, the school received 95 total applications for 60 places, with 67 of those being first-preference applications. All 60 first-preference offers were taken up, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.58. This level of competition suggests that families in the area view the school as a highly desirable option, and the school’s popularity is reflected in its ability to fill nearly every available place.
