I can confirm that the information requested is held by Lincolnshire County Council. I have detailed below the information that is being released to you.  
 
This is based on offers made from 'in year' applications over the last 2 academic years i.e. Sept 2023/July 2024, and Sept 2024 to February 2025.

Lincolnshire County Council have provided the total number of offers made for each academic year.

1-2. 2023/2024
Total offers made: 5923
Offers coming out of Independent Schools: 60

3-4. 2024/2025 (so far)
Total offers made: 3195

N.B. Lincolnshire County Council (LCC) offer a place where we can based on the application LCC receive. We then leave it to the school and parent/carer to make arrangements to start at the school.
Lincolnshire County Council don't necessarily know if they end up starting at the offered school or not. Some parents may choose not to take up the offer, or may choose to apply elsewhere.
