Alkborough Primary Academy
Our school is situated in the area of Alkborough and Walcot which is a 2800 acre site in the north west corner of old Lincolnshire, consisting of two settlements dating back to Saxon times. It may surprise some people to know that part of the Alkborough parish boundary is in the middle of the rivers Humber and Trent and the spelling of Alkborough in the Doomsday Book was Alchebarge.
Principal's Welcome
It is my great pleasure to welcome you to Alkborough Primary Academy — a small village school with a strong sense of community and a big ambition for every child.
I hope the information on our website gives you a glimpse into the life and spirit of our school. At Alkborough, we pride ourselves on being a nurturing, inclusive environment where every child is known, valued, and encouraged to flourish. Our ethos is built on the values of honesty, care, resilience, and inspiration, and these guide everything we do — from the way we teach, to the way we support and celebrate our pupils.
As a small school, we offer something truly special: a close-knit setting where relationships are strong, and children feel safe and confident to be themselves. Our dedicated staff team work tirelessly to ensure that learning is joyful, meaningful, and tailored to the needs of each individual. We encourage children to take risks, learn from mistakes, and develop into thoughtful, independent learners with aspirations of their own.
We have high expectations for all our pupils and believe that with the right support and opportunities, every child can succeed. Our curriculum is designed to inspire curiosity and creativity, and we offer a wide range of enriching experiences — from outdoor learning and village-based projects to sporting, musical, and social activities — that help our children grow into well-rounded individuals.
We believe that children thrive in a respectful, orderly, and caring environment. At Alkborough, we foster a culture of kindness, tolerance, and mutual respect, helping our pupils to understand their place in the wider world and to become responsible, compassionate citizens.
As part of the Isle Education Trust, we benefit from shared expertise and resources while maintaining our unique village identity. We value strong partnerships with parents and carers, and we warmly invite you to be part of your child’s journey with us.
We look forward to welcoming you to Alkborough Primary Academy — where small beginnings lead to great futures.
Warm regards,
Sean Woolley
Principal and Director of
