About Clover Hill Community Primary School

Clover Hill Community Primary School is a state primary in Gateshead that runs very close to full capacity, with 208 pupils on roll against a published capacity of 210. The school’s intake is notably less disadvantaged than the local average: just 8.7 per cent of pupils are eligible for free school meals, compared with a national primary average that typically sits around 23 per cent. That relative affluence may partly explain the fierce demand for places. For the 2025/26 reception intake, the school offered 26 places and received 88 applications in total, giving an oversubscription ratio of 3.38. Twenty-one of those applications were first-preference choices, and all 21 first-preference families were offered a place. The school is clearly a popular first choice among local parents, and the gap between total applications and available places suggests many families are listing it as a lower preference too.
