About Dallam Community Primary School

Dallam Community Primary School is clearly a popular choice among local families. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 36 applications for just 26 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.38. Of those 36 applications, 25 were first-preference choices, and all 25 of those families were offered a place. That means every family who put Dallam as their top pick secured a spot, which is a strong signal of parent satisfaction and confidence in the school. While the school doesn't publish a formal parent recommendation percentage, the fact that it is oversubscribed and that first-preference applicants all got in suggests a healthy reputation. The school is led by headteacher Amanda Downey and serves 274 pupils from ages 2 to 11, with a nursery provision available for the youngest children.
