Schools
| Open establishments | Schools | Places | Pupils | Filled |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Primary schools | 1 | 56 | 47 | 83.9% |
The 2021 census counted 35 children aged 5 to 9 in the town: one state primary school for every 35 of them.
Open schools registered in the Willoughby-on-the-Wolds built-up area, from the Department for Education's Get Information about Schools register, extracted 24 August 2026. Each school counts once: an independent special school appears under special schools, and the phase rows are state schools. Places are reported capacity and pupils each school's latest census return, summed only over schools reporting both, and shown only where at least 9 in 10 of a phase's schools do; state primaries across measured towns run at 89.2% of capacity, secondaries 91.3%. The children-per-school figure pairs a 2021 census count with today's register, so growth or decline since the census is not in it. No inspection grades are shown because Ofsted stopped issuing single-word overall judgements in 2024 and the register no longer carries them; current inspection reports are on Ofsted's own site. England only: the register lists Welsh schools without phase detail.
