About Hylton Red House Nursery School

Hylton Red House Nursery School is a state-funded nursery in Sunderland for children aged three to five, currently educating 135 pupils. As a nursery without a published capacity figure, it is difficult to gauge oversubscription directly, but the school’s Outstanding Ofsted rating and its position as one of only five nurseries in the local authority to hold that grade (out of seven total) suggest strong local demand. The school does not report its free school meal (FSM) percentage, so a direct comparison with the national or local average is not possible here. However, its location in Sunderland, a borough with above-average child poverty rates, means the school likely serves a mixed intake. The headteacher, Catherine Barnett, leads a non-denominational setting with no religious character, making it accessible to families of all backgrounds. The school offers nursery provision only, with no boarding, and its pupil count of 135 indicates a reasonably sized early years setting within the community.
