About King Edward Primary School

King Edward Primary School in North Tyneside is a state primary for children aged 3 to 11 that is currently running above its official capacity. With 461 pupils on roll against a capacity of 420, the school is clearly in demand, and the admissions data for the 2025/26 intake confirms this: the school was oversubscribed, receiving 126 applications for just 57 places, an oversubscription ratio of 2.21. Of those, 55 were first-preference applications, and exactly 55 first-preference offers were made, meaning every family who put it first got a place, but competition for those spots was still stiff. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 12%, which is relatively modest compared with the national average for primary schools, suggesting a broadly mixed but not especially disadvantaged intake. The school is non-denominational and is led by headteacher Kate Byrne.
