About Amble Links Primary School

Amble Links Primary School is a state-funded, mixed primary school in Northumberland, currently educating 200 pupils against a capacity of 210, meaning it is running very close to full. The school serves a community with a noticeably higher-than-average proportion of children eligible for free school meals, at 26.7%, compared to the national primary average of around 23.8%. Demand for places is strong: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 34 applications for 21 places, with all 21 first-preference applicants being offered a spot. This gives an oversubscription ratio of 1.62, confirming that the school is a popular choice among local families. The school is non-denominational, with its religious character listed as 'Does not apply', and it is led by headteacher Paul Heeley. It also offers nursery provision for children from age 2, making it a potential option for families looking for continuity from early years through to the end of primary.
