About St Mary's Church of England Primary School

St Mary’s Church of England Primary School is a small, oversubscribed state primary in Stockton-on-Tees, and the numbers suggest it’s a school that local families actively want. For the 2025/26 admissions round, the school received 15 applications for just 7 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.14 — meaning more than two families applied for every spot. All 7 first-preference applicants were offered a place, which will reassure parents that putting it top of their list is a realistic bet. The school has a nursery provision for children from age 2, and with only 107 pupils on roll against a capacity of 105, it’s running at full stretch. The headteacher is Shaun Smith, and the school’s religious character is Church of England. While the Department for Education’s Parent View data isn’t included here, the oversubscription alone signals strong local confidence.
