About Preston Grange Primary School

Preston Grange Primary School is a state-funded, mixed-gender primary school in North Tyneside for children aged 3 to 11. It currently has 218 pupils on roll against a capacity of 240, meaning it is not yet full but is clearly in demand. For the 2025/26 admissions cycle, the school received 38 total applications for 22 places, with exactly 22 first-preference applications, resulting in an oversubscription ratio of 1.73. This suggests strong local interest, though the school is not as heavily oversubscribed as some of its neighbours. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 16.9%, which is above the national average for primary schools and indicates a slightly higher-than-average level of socio-economic disadvantage among the intake. The school does not have a religious character, and its nursery provision means it takes children from age 3, making it a practical option for families seeking continuity from early years through to Year 6.
