About St Gerard's RC Primary School

St Gerard's RC Primary School in Middlesbrough is a smaller-than-average Roman Catholic primary, with 171 pupils against a capacity of 210. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 35.2%, which is notably higher than the national average and reflects the local context of the area. Demand for places is clear: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 23 applications for just 16 places, with 15 of those being first-preference offers. That gives an oversubscription ratio of 1.44, meaning nearly one and a half families compete for every spot. The school serves children from age 3 through to 11, with nursery provision on site, and is led by headteacher Joanne Coe. Its Catholic character is woven into daily life, with a chapel on the premises, but the school is open to families of all faiths and none who value its ethos.
