About Greenhead Church of England Nursery and Primary School

Greenhead Church of England Nursery and Primary School is a small state primary tucked away in Northumberland, and its intake figures tell an interesting story. With just 53 pupils on roll against a capacity of 60, the school is not quite full, yet it was oversubscribed for the 2025/26 academic year, receiving five applications for four places. That oversubscription ratio of 1.25 suggests a modest but genuine local demand. What really stands out is the proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals: 32.7%. That is significantly above the national average for primary schools, which typically sits around 23-24%, and it places Greenhead well above the Northumberland local authority average too. The school serves a community with higher-than-average economic disadvantage, and its Church of England character adds a layer of faith-based identity that likely shapes its intake. For a school of this size, every pupil counts, and the fact that it is oversubscribed at all, even by just one application, indicates that local families are actively choosing it over other options in the area.
