Newham Bridge Primary School
About Newham Bridge Primary School
Newham Bridge Primary School is a school that local families clearly want to get into. For the 2025/26 intake, it received 61 applications for just 45 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.36. Of those, 44 first-preference offers were made, meaning most families who put it top got in, but it’s still competitive. The school is led by headteacher Beverley Hewitt-Best and serves 322 pupils in Middlesbrough, despite having a formal capacity of only 280 — so it’s genuinely popular and running above its official limit. That kind of demand often reflects word-of-mouth reputation, and while there’s no parent survey data here, the oversubscription figures alone suggest a school that local families trust and actively choose.
