Breckon Hill Primary School
About Breckon Hill Primary School
Breckon Hill Primary School sits within the Middlesbrough local authority, one of 41 state primary schools in the area. It is not among the top-ranked peers locally — those are St Bernadette's Catholic Primary School, Lingfield Primary School, and Beech Grove Primary School — but it holds a solid position as a large, oversubscribed school with a Good Ofsted rating that it has maintained across both its most recent inspections. The school is led by headteacher Joanne Smith and caters for children from age 2 to 11, with a nursery on site. Its size is notable: with 594 pupils against a capacity of 630, it is one of the bigger primaries in the borough. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 52.2%, well above the national average, which gives a clear indication of the community it serves. The school is non-religious and co-educational, and its facilities include a forest school, sensory room, and chapel — the last being an unusual feature for a school with no religious character.
