Junction Farm Primary School
About Junction Farm Primary School
Junction Farm Primary School in Stockton-on-Tees is a state primary for children aged 3 to 11, and it's a school that local families clearly want to get into. With 360 pupils on roll against a capacity of 420, it's not at full stretch, but the admissions data for 2025/26 tells a different story: the school received 55 applications for just 31 places, making it oversubscribed with a ratio of 1.77 applicants per spot. Every single one of those 30 first-preference families was offered a place, which suggests that while demand is strong, the school is a realistic first choice for many. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals sits at 10.2%, which is notably lower than the national average for primary schools, indicating a relatively less disadvantaged intake compared with many schools in the area. The school is non-religious and mixed, with a nursery provision attached, and is led by headteacher Louise Daly.
