About Byerley Park Primary School

Byerley Park Primary School is clearly a popular choice among local families, with 69 applications for just 30 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.3. Of those 69 applicants, 29 received a first-preference offer, and the school received exactly 30 first-preference applications, meaning it filled nearly all its places with families who had put it top of their list. This level of demand suggests a strong reputation in the community, though the school does not publish a parent-view survey percentage to back that up directly. Headteacher Rebecca Pattison leads a mixed, state primary for children aged 4 to 11, with a current roll of 207 pupils against a capacity of 210. The school is non-religious and serves a catchment in County Durham, where 30 per cent of pupils are eligible for free school meals, a figure above the national average.
