About Linton Primary School

Linton Primary School is a small state primary in Northumberland that parents view with a mix of strong approval and notable reservations. In the most recent Parent View survey, 60% of the ten respondents said they would recommend the school, while 40% would not. That split is reflected in the detail: 80% of parents agreed or strongly agreed that their child is happy, and 90% felt the school lets them know how their child is doing. However, only 50% agreed that concerns are dealt with properly, and just 30% felt the school makes them aware of what their child will learn. The school is oversubscribed for the 2025/26 intake, with three first-preference applications for three places and an overall ratio of 1.67 applications per place, suggesting that despite mixed feedback, demand from local families remains healthy.
