About Abingdon Primary School

Abingdon Primary School is a state-funded mixed primary school in Middlesbrough, serving children from age 2 to 11 under headteacher Adam Cooper. It is one of 41 primary schools in the Middlesbrough local authority, where only two schools currently hold an Outstanding rating from Ofsted. The nearest of those is Linthorpe Community Primary School, 1.9 km away. Among its local peers, Abingdon sits behind St Bernadette's Catholic Primary School, Lingfield Primary School, and Beech Grove Primary School in ranking scores. The school is significantly oversubscribed: for the 2025/26 intake, it received 111 applications for 73 places, with 70 first-preference offers made. That oversubscription ratio of 1.52 reflects strong local demand. With 597 pupils against a capacity of 525, the school is operating above its official capacity, and 54.5 per cent of pupils are eligible for free school meals, well above the national average.
