Ayresome Primary School

About Ayresome Primary School

Ayresome Primary School sits within the Middlesbrough local authority, where it ranks 28th out of 37 primary schools on the key stage 2 expected standard measure. That places it in the bottom half of schools locally, some way behind the top-performing peers in the area — St Bernadette's Catholic Primary School, Lingfield Primary School and Beech Grove Primary School all score considerably higher on the same metric. The school is significantly oversubscribed, however, receiving 126 applications for 87 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, with 68 first-preference offers made. It serves a community with high levels of disadvantage: 60 per cent of pupils are eligible for free school meals, well above the national average. The school has a nursery provision and caters for children from age two through to eleven. Its most recent Ofsted inspection, in 2023, rated it Good overall, a notable improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating.
