About St Teresa's Catholic Primary School, Heaton

St Teresa's Catholic Primary School in Heaton is a state-funded Roman Catholic primary for mixed-gender pupils aged 4 to 11, and it is currently full to the brim. With 210 pupils on roll matching its exact capacity of 210, there is no spare room at all. The school's intake reflects a notably diverse socioeconomic profile: 20.5% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, which is higher than the national average for primary schools (around 23%) but sits below the local Newcastle upon Tyne average. Demand is clearly strong — for the 2025/26 admissions cycle, the school received 72 total applications for just 29 places, an oversubscription ratio of 2.48. All 29 first-preference applicants were offered a place, meaning that while the school is popular, families who put it first stand a realistic chance of getting in. This is a school that is both full and in demand, serving a catchment that includes a significant proportion of children from lower-income households.
