Grange Primary School
About Grange Primary School
Grange Primary School in Hartlepool is clearly a popular choice among local families. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 53 applications for just 35 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.51. All 35 first-preference applicants were offered a place, which suggests that while demand is strong, the school is still accessible to those who prioritise it. The school is led by headteacher Sam Musgrave and caters to children aged 2 to 11. It is a state-funded, mixed primary school with a nursery provision, and it does not have a religious character. With 359 pupils on roll against a capacity of 426, there is some room for growth, though the oversubscription figures indicate that places are competitive. The school also has a high proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals, at 66.7%, which is a significant figure for parents to consider when thinking about the school's community context.
