About Hebburn Lakes Primary School

Hebburn Lakes Primary School is a state-funded mixed primary in South Tyneside, and its intake data tells a clear story about the community it serves. The school currently has 462 pupils on roll, which is 42 above its official capacity of 420, so it is genuinely full and then some. That demand is reflected in admissions for the 2025/26 intake: the school received 93 applications for just 50 places, with 46 of those coming as first preferences, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.86. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 44.3%, which is notably high — well above the national average for primary schools and a strong indicator of the area's socioeconomic profile. This is a school that is clearly popular with local families, but also one that is operating under significant capacity pressure, with more children than it was originally designed to accommodate.
