About Stephenson Memorial Primary School

Stephenson Memorial Primary School in North Tyneside is a state primary for children aged 2 to 11, and it is noticeably smaller than its physical capacity would allow. With 368 pupils on roll against a capacity of 496, the school is operating at about 74% of its potential size, which is a significant gap. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 55.2%, well above the national average and a clear indicator of the area's socioeconomic profile. Despite this spare capacity, the school is oversubscribed for its 38 Reception places in the 2025/26 admissions round, receiving 55 total applications and making 37 offers to first-preference families. That gives an oversubscription ratio of 1.45, meaning nearly one and a half families compete for every place, so demand is real even if the overall site isn't full. The school has no religious character and is led by headteacher Kerry Lilico.
