About Ormesby Primary School

Ormesby Primary School is a popular choice among local families, with 12 of its 14 reception places for 2025/26 going to first-preference applicants and a total of 26 applications for those spots, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.86. That level of demand suggests parents who know the school well are keen to get their children in. The school itself is a state primary for mixed genders aged 3 to 11, with a nursery on site, and it serves the Redcar and Cleveland area in the North East. Headteacher Andrew Drage leads a school of 222 pupils, well below its capacity of 415, and over a third of pupils (36.2%) are eligible for free school meals, which is notably above the national average. The school has a Good rating from Ofsted following its most recent graded inspection in April 2024, a significant improvement from its previous inspection in 2022, when it was rated Inadequate overall.
