Corringham CE Primary School provides education for children from 4 to 11 years. Children will normally transfer to this school from nursery schools from the nearby town of Gainsborough and the surrounding villages.
Our school consists of an original old building with extensions built in 1992 and 2000 which include a conservatory, an Early Years area with access to an outside play area, a library and four classrooms. There are also two cloakrooms, washing facilities and toilets.
In 2010, an extension has provided us with a dedicated head teachers office, staffroom and a small hall and in 2013 we added a new library/small group room.
