Saltburn Primary School
About Saltburn Primary School
Saltburn Primary School is a state primary for mixed-gender pupils aged 3 to 11 in the Redcar and Cleveland local authority. With 374 pupils on roll against a school capacity of 420, it is not at full capacity but still sees strong demand: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 41 applications for 35 places, making it oversubscribed with a ratio of 1.17 applicants per place. Of those, 34 were first-preference applications, and 34 first-preference offers were made, meaning nearly every family who put it first secured a spot. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 26.5%, which is notably higher than the national primary average of around 23% and suggests the school serves a community with above-average levels of economic disadvantage. This context matters when interpreting the school’s academic results, as schools with higher FSM rates often face additional challenges.
