About Mountfield Primary School

Mountfield Primary School in Newcastle upon Tyne is a popular choice among local families, with 27 first-preference applications for its 28 Reception places in the 2025/26 admissions round, making it officially oversubscribed. The school received 44 total applications for those places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.57, meaning more than one and a half families applied for every spot.
