Heckington St Andrew's Church of England School: admissions history
How many families applied, how many places there were, and how far the last place went - every year we hold.
For September 2026 entry, 20 families put Heckington St Andrew's Church of England School as their first choice and 32 named it as one of their preferences, for 20 places offered. It had fewer first-choice applications than places, so in 2026 a family who put it first could expect an offer unless the school's other criteria ruled them out.
Demand has been fairly steady: 21 first choices in 2021, against 20 in 2026.
Across Lincolnshire, 96% of families were offered their first-choice primary school for 2026 entry, and 100% were offered one of the schools they named.
In 2025, families in Lincolnshire lodged 112 appeals against primary school offers; 62 reached a hearing and 14 succeeded (22.6% of those heard).
