About Acklam Whin Primary School

Acklam Whin Primary School is a popular choice among Middlesbrough families, and the numbers back that up. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 132 applications for just 60 places, giving it an oversubscription ratio of 2.2. Of those applicants, 56 put Acklam Whin as their first preference, and 53 were offered a place — so while it’s competitive, a first-preference application gives you a strong chance. The school is led by headteacher Suzie Prince and currently has 477 pupils on roll, which is above its official capacity of 420. That level of demand suggests parents are seeing something they like, and it’s worth noting that the school’s most recent Ofsted inspection, an ungraded visit in October 2023, confirmed it remains a Good school, though inspectors noted some concerns that will need addressing before the next graded inspection.
