About Sedgefield Primary School
Sedgefield Primary School is clearly a popular choice among local families, with strong parent demand reflected in its oversubscription figures. For the 2025/26 academic year, the school received 74 applications for just 30 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.47. Of those 74 applications, 21 were first-preference choices, and 20 first-preference offers were made. This level of demand suggests that parents in the County Durham area are actively seeking places here, and the school’s Good Ofsted rating, confirmed in its most recent ungraded inspection in 2023, will only reinforce that confidence. The school has held a Good rating across both its recent inspections, with leadership and management also judged Good. With a capacity of 212 and currently 209 pupils on roll, it is operating very close to full, which further underlines its local standing.
