About Overfields Primary School

Overfields Primary School is a state primary in Redcar and Cleveland that currently teaches 194 pupils against a capacity of 236, leaving it with around 18% spare places. That spare capacity is notable given the school’s intake profile: 54.2% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, well above the national average and a clear signal that the school serves a community with significant socio-economic need. Despite this, demand is healthy. For the 2025/26 reception intake, the school received 24 applications for 18 places, with all 16 first-preference applicants offered a spot. That oversubscription ratio of 1.33 suggests families in the area actively choose Overfields, even though it isn’t the most oversubscribed school in the borough. The school is non-religious, mixed, and includes a nursery for three-year-olds, so it draws from a broad local catchment.
