About Broadwood Primary School

Broadwood Primary School in Newcastle upon Tyne is a state primary for mixed pupils aged 3 to 11, currently home to 227 children against a capacity of 236. That near-full roll is no accident: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 49 applications for just 27 places, with 25 of those coming as first preferences, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.81. The school’s intake is notably diverse in terms of disadvantage, with 57.7% of pupils eligible for free school meals — well above the national average and a clear signal of the community it serves. Wendy Mitcheson is the headteacher, and the school has no religious character. It also offers nursery provision, so families can start their child’s journey from age three.
