About Easterside Academy

If you're a parent considering Easterside Academy, the first thing you'll notice is that it's a genuinely popular choice locally. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 50 applications for just 34 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.47. Of those 50 applications, 32 were first-preference choices, and all 32 of those families received an offer. That's a strong signal that local parents rate the school highly enough to put it top of their list. The school is a state primary for mixed genders aged 3 to 11, located in Middlesbrough, and led by headteacher Helen Seymour. It has a nursery provision, which is a practical bonus for families with younger children. With 318 pupils on roll against a capacity of 294, it's running slightly over capacity, which further underlines its draw. The school also has a high proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals at 55.1%, reflecting the community it serves.
