About Marine Park First School

Marine Park First School is a popular choice among North Tyneside families, and the numbers back that up. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 159 applications for just 86 places, giving it an oversubscription ratio of 1.85. That means nearly two families applied for every spot, and of those, 81 put it down as their first preference. While the school doesn't publish a formal parent recommendation percentage, the high demand is a strong signal of local satisfaction. The school is rated Good overall by Ofsted following its 2022 inspection, with a standout Outstanding grade for personal development. That rating reflects how well the school supports pupils' character and resilience, which is often a priority for parents looking beyond just academic results. With a relatively low proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals at 7.2%, the school serves a broadly advantaged catchment, but its inclusive approach is evident in the range of SEND provisions it offers.
