Every child who put Worlaby Academy first was offered a place in 2026, so no distance cut-off applied: living further away did not cost a place that year.

School overview

Worlaby Academy is a primary school serving Brigg, North Lincolnshire, classified by the DfE as a converter academy. It has 52 pupils aged 4 to 11 on roll. In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 73% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — above the national average of 61%. That marks an improvement of 11.0 percentage points in the proportion reaching the expected standard on the previous year, though small year groups can make these figures swing sharply from year to year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it among the top 14% of primary schools in England.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 106 in reading and 105 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 18% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). Worlaby Academy was not oversubscribed for September 2026: all 10 families who put it first were offered a place. Overall pupil absence was 4.0%. There are about 14.9 pupils per teacher. Worlaby Academy does not currently have a recent graded Ofsted judgement on record (often the case for newer or recently converted schools), so it is worth asking when its next inspection is expected. This overview is generated automatically from the latest published DfE performance tables and Ofsted data; figures are rounded, and you can check the originals via the official links above.
