About Seabridge Primary School

Seabridge Primary School is clearly a popular choice among local families. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 109 applications for just 53 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.06, meaning more than two families applied for every available spot. Of those, 50 were first-preference applications, and all 50 first-preference families were offered a place. This level of demand suggests strong word-of-mouth reputation in Newcastle-under-Lyme. The school is led by headteacher Emma Kuffour and caters for 456 pupils, which is above its stated capacity of 420. It offers nursery provision for younger children and has a non-religious character. In its most recent Ofsted inspection, carried out in 2021, the school was rated Good overall, with Good marks for leadership and management. The previous graded inspection in 2012 also rated the school Good, and the ungraded inspection in 2021 confirmed it remains Good.
