About Denbigh Community Primary School

Ofsted's Parent View survey, based on 55 responses collected between September 2024 and September 2025, shows that 85% of parents would recommend Denbigh Community Primary School. That's a strong signal, and it aligns with the school's clear popularity in North Tyneside. For the 2025/26 reception intake, the school received 91 applications for 60 places, with 62 families putting it as their first preference. The oversubscription ratio of 1.52 means for every place, roughly one and a half families wanted it. Looking closer at the survey, parents are particularly positive about the range of subjects and clubs on offer, with 60% strongly agreeing on both counts. The happiness and safety of children also score highly, with 86% either agreeing or strongly agreeing that their child is happy, and 87% feeling the same about safety. There are some areas where opinion is more divided, such as how concerns are dealt with and support for children with SEND, but the overall picture is one of a school that most families feel very good about.
