About Heygarth Primary School

Heygarth Primary School is clearly a popular choice among local families. For the 2025/26 admissions round, the school received 94 applications for just 57 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.65. Of those 94 applications, 54 were first-preference choices, and 54 first-preference offers were made, meaning every family who put Heygarth as their top pick secured a place. This level of demand suggests a strong local reputation, though it is worth noting that the school’s capacity is listed at 321 pupils while it currently has 431 on roll, so it is operating significantly above its official capacity. The school has a nursery provision for children from age three, and the headteacher is Hazel Beamish. With 26.1 per cent of pupils eligible for free school meals, the intake reflects a broad socioeconomic mix.
