About Hadrian Primary School

Hadrian Primary School is a state-funded mixed primary in South Tyneside, currently home to 266 pupils against a capacity of 280, meaning it runs very close to full. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 28.9%, which is significantly above the national average for primary schools and reflects the local demographic context. Demand for places is clear: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 51 applications for 32 places, with all 32 first-preference applicants receiving an offer. That gives an oversubscription ratio of 1.59, a solid signal that local families are actively choosing Hadrian. The school also offers nursery provision for children from age three, so it can serve families from the earliest stages of primary education. Its religious character is listed as 'does not apply', making it a straightforward community option for parents who prefer a non-denominational setting.
