School Admissions

We know how important it is to choose the right school for your child, and we’re delighted that you’re considering Tealby. We pride ourselves on being a small, nurturing community where every child is known, valued and inspired to achieve their very best.

 

We understand that families living outside the village sometimes worry about securing a place. Because of our small class sizes, we often have spaces available across multiple year groups, and we encourage you to get in touch - whether you're looking for a Reception place or considering a move mid-year. Families attend our school from many surrounding towns and villages, such as Market Rasen, Middle Rasen, Binbrook, Lissington and Waltham. If you’d like your child to join us, we’ll always do our best to make it happen.

 

While admissions are managed centrally by Lincolnshire County Council, we would love to welcome you to see our school in action. We don’t set aside special ‘open days’ - instead, we invite you to book a personal tour with our Headteacher at any time to experience the warmth, creativity and ambition that make our school special.
