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.
