About Seahouses Primary School

Seahouses Primary School is a small state primary in Northumberland where the numbers tell a reassuring story for parents. In the 2025/26 admissions round, the school received exactly six first-preference applications for its six available places, meaning every family who wanted a spot got one. That oversubscription ratio of 1.0 is a practical signal: this is a school that serves its local community without the pressure of a scramble for places. With just 68 pupils on roll against a capacity of 150, there is plenty of breathing room, and the school is clearly a known quantity for local families. While the data doesn't include a formal parent-view survey, the fact that all six first-preference applicants were offered places suggests a steady, satisfied local reputation. Headteacher Vickie Allen leads a mixed, non-religious primary for children aged 4 to 11, and the school's most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023 confirmed it remains a Good school, a notable improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating in 2015.
