About Redesdale Primary School

Redesdale Primary School is a popular choice among local families, with 42 out of 43 first-preference applicants offered a place for the 2025/26 intake. The school was oversubscribed, receiving 72 applications for 46 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.57. This level of demand suggests a strong reputation in the community, though no parent survey data is available to confirm satisfaction rates directly. The school is a state-funded, mixed primary for ages 3 to 11 in North Tyneside, with a nursery provision on site. Headteacher Tracy Flannaghan leads a school of 317 pupils, which is slightly below its capacity of 350. Just over a fifth of pupils (22.6%) are eligible for free school meals, which is a useful benchmark for understanding the school's intake.
