About Regent Farm First School

Regent Farm First School sits within the Newcastle upon Tyne local authority, a primary landscape where only eight of 72 schools hold an Outstanding Ofsted rating. The school itself is rated Good, a solid position in a competitive area. Its top-performing local peers, according to ranking scores, are St Oswald's Catholic Primary School in Gosforth (score 97), St Vincents Catholic Primary School (89), and St Charles' Catholic Primary School (83). The nearest Outstanding-rated school is Gosforth Park First School, just 1.4 kilometres away. Regent Farm caters for children aged three to nine, with a nursery on site, and is a mixed, non-faith state school. It is notably oversubscribed: for the 2025/26 intake, there were 152 applications for 58 places, with 45 first-preference offers made. That oversubscription ratio of 2.62 suggests strong local demand, and the school's capacity of 300 is currently exceeded by its roll of 333 pupils, indicating it is operating above its official limit.
