Roseberry Primary School
About Roseberry Primary School
Roseberry Primary School in Stockton-on-Tees is a state-funded mixed primary for ages 3 to 11, currently home to 346 pupils against a capacity of 420. That leaves a fair amount of physical headroom, but demand tells a different story: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 48 applications for just 21 places, with all 21 first-preference offers taken up. That gives an oversubscription ratio of 2.29, meaning more than two families wanted each spot. The school’s free school meal rate stands at 50.3%, which is notably high — well above the national average for primary schools (around 23%) and a clear signal that Roseberry serves a community with significant socioeconomic need. The headteacher is Christian Park, and the school has no religious character. It also offers nursery provision, so families with younger children can start here from age three.
