About Northern Saints Church of England Academy

Northern Saints Church of England Academy is a popular choice among local families, with 49 first-preference applications for 52 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.08. While the school is technically oversubscribed, the ratio is modest, meaning most families who put it first are likely to get a place. Parent satisfaction data isn't available directly, but the fact that the school receives more first-preference applications than it has places suggests a solid local reputation. The school serves a community with high levels of disadvantage — 57.1% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, well above the national average — and its Church of England foundation gives it a distinct character. Headteacher Rachel Heaney leads a primary that has held a Good Ofsted rating since its last graded inspection in 2015, with a subsequent ungraded inspection in 2019 confirming the school remains Good.
