About Dubmire Primary

If you're a parent considering Dubmire Primary, the first thing you'll notice from the most recent Parent View survey is a very strong vote of confidence: 95% of the 66 respondents said they would recommend the school. That's a powerful signal, and it's backed up by the fact that the school is genuinely popular. For the 2025/26 intake, Dubmire received 82 applications for its 60 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1. 37. Of those 82 applications, 62 were first-preference choices, meaning the vast majority of families who wanted a place here had it as their top pick. The school is clearly a sought-after option in Sunderland, and the parent feedback suggests why. On questions about whether children are happy, feel safe, and do well, the combined 'strongly agree' and 'agree' responses sit at 97%, 92%, and 91% respectively. Parents also feel well-informed: 98% agreed the school makes them aware of what their child will learn, and 89% agreed they're kept up to date on progress.
