About Cullercoats Primary School

Cullercoats Primary School is clearly a popular choice among local families, with 124 applications chasing just 44 places in the 2025/26 admissions round. That gives it an oversubscription ratio of 2.82, meaning nearly three families applied for every available spot. Of those 124 applicants, 43 put the school as their first preference, and all 43 were offered a place. The school is led by headteacher Gavin Storey and serves 418 pupils from ages 3 to 11, with a nursery on site. It is a state-funded, mixed primary school with no religious character. In its most recent graded Ofsted inspection in 2012, the school was rated Good overall, with Good marks for both leadership and management and the quality of education.
