About Mowbray Primary School

Mowbray Primary School is a state-funded, mixed primary in Northumberland, currently home to 243 pupils against a capacity of 320, meaning there is room for more children than are currently enrolled. Despite this, the school is oversubscribed for Reception places in the 2025/26 academic year, with 45 applications for just 24 places and 22 of those coming from first-preference families — a clear signal of local demand. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 30.4%, which is notably higher than the national average and suggests the school serves a community with above-average levels of disadvantage. The headteacher is Andrew Miller, and the school has no religious character. It offers nursery provision for children from age three, making it a viable option for families looking for continuity from early years through to Year 6.
