The Middle Rasen Primary School has a published admission number of 105 places. 130 pupils were enrolled in the most recent data, giving a fill rate of 124%. At 124% capacity, the school is heavily oversubscribed. 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.
