What is the catchment area for Kirmington CofE Primary School?

Kirmington CofE Primary School: heavily oversubscribed at 121% capacity

Kirmington CofE Primary School has a published admission number of 52 places. 63 pupils were enrolled in the most recent data, giving a fill rate of 121%. At 121% capacity, the school is heavily oversubscribed. North Lincolnshire allocates places using ranked criteria: looked-after children first, then siblings, then catchment distance. Living within the catchment area is a strong but not guaranteed advantage, as the last distance offered shrinks each year as applications rise.

The fill-rate figure above reflects overall demand, but the school's intake also varies by community profile. 15% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, below the national average. The school draws primarily from a lower-deprivation part of Ulceby.
