About Ryhope Infant School Academy

Ryhope Infant School Academy is a state primary in Sunderland for children aged two to seven, and it is currently operating close to full capacity with 177 pupils against a school capacity of 195. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 30. 6 per cent, which is notably higher than the national average and suggests the school serves a community with above-average levels of disadvantage. Demand for places is strong: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 56 applications for 32 total places, with all 32 first-preference applicants offered a spot. That gives an oversubscription ratio of 1. 75, meaning nearly two families applied for every available place. The school is mixed, non-denominational, and does not have a religious character. It also offers nursery provision, which will be a practical consideration for local families looking for continuity from early years through to Key Stage 1.
