Wrangle Primary Academy

About Wrangle Primary Academy

If you're a parent considering Wrangle Primary Academy, the numbers suggest it's a school that local families are keen to get into. In the 2025/26 admissions round, the school received eight applications for just four places, giving it an oversubscription ratio of 2:1. All four first-preference applicants were offered a place, which is reassuring for those who live closest and put it top of their list. The school is small, with 61 pupils on roll against a capacity of 105, so there is some room for growth, but the current demand clearly outstrips supply. While the Department for Education does not publish a parent view score for this school, the oversubscription data itself acts as a strong signal of local confidence. Headteacher Tiffany Hebron leads a mixed, non-denominational primary for children aged 4 to 11, and the school operates as a state-funded academy within the Lincolnshire local authority.

Academically, Wrangle Primary Academy has been rated Good in its most recent Ofsted inspection, which took place in September 2021. This is a notable improvement from its previous inspection in November 2017, when the school was rated Requires Improvement. In the 2021 inspection, every graded category — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision — was judged to be Good. The school's early years provision, which had been graded 3 (Requires Improvement) in 2017, moved up to a 2 (Good). For a school of this size, the Ofsted report is the main public measure of academic quality, as the school is too small to publish a Progress 8 score or KS2 SATs results that are statistically reliable. For context, the Lincolnshire local authority average for Key Stage 2 attainment is 57, but Wrangle's own results are not available in the data.

The school offers a practical, well-equipped environment for its pupils. Facilities include an outdoor playground, library, ICT suite and art studios, and the sports programme covers tennis, athletics, swimming, cross country, dance and cricket. There is a good range of after-school clubs, including coding, gardening, science club, eco club and film club. For families with children who have additional needs, the school lists SEND provisions for specific learning difficulties like dyslexia, moderate learning difficulty, social, emotional and mental health needs, speech, language and communication needs, and autistic spectrum disorder. With just 61 pupils and a headteacher who has overseen a clear improvement in Ofsted ratings, this is a school that will particularly suit families looking for a small, community-focused primary where the head knows every child by name. The high proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals (50.8%) reflects the school's role in a relatively disadvantaged catchment, but the oversubscription figures show it is a popular choice nonetheless.
