About Fell Dyke Community Primary School

Fell Dyke Community Primary School in Gateshead is a school that local families clearly want to get into. For the 2025/26 intake, it received 42 applications for just 30 places, giving it an oversubscription ratio of 1.4. That means for every place, there were 1.4 children trying to get it. Crucially, all 29 first-preference applicants were offered a spot, which suggests that if you put it top of your list, you have a strong chance. The school doesn't publish a parent view survey percentage, so we can't quote that, but the demand speaks for itself. With 292 pupils on roll against a capacity of 360, there is some physical space, yet the school is still oversubscribed — a sign that its reputation in the community is driving applications rather than empty desks.
