About Shiremoor Primary School

Shiremoor Primary School is clearly a popular choice among local families. In the 2025/26 admissions round, the school received 50 applications for just 45 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.11. Of those 50 applicants, 33 put Shiremoor as their first preference, and all 33 were offered a place. That level of demand suggests a strong local reputation, though it is worth noting that the school is not so oversubscribed that getting a place feels impossible for families who live nearby. The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection, carried out in November 2023, rated it Good overall, with a standout Outstanding grade for behaviour and attitudes. That is a meaningful signal for parents: inspectors saw that pupils conduct themselves well and engage positively with learning. Compared with its previous inspection in 2008, when the school was rated Outstanding across the board, the current Good rating represents a step down, but the inspection framework has changed significantly in the intervening years, so direct comparisons are tricky.
