About Chillingham Road Primary School

Chillingham Road Primary School is a mixed, state-funded primary in Newcastle upon Tyne that currently educates 239 pupils against a capacity of 260, leaving some spare places overall. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 41.4%, which is notably higher than the national average and reflects the school's role in serving a diverse local community.
