About Tameside Primary Academy

Tameside Primary Academy is a mixed state primary school in Sandwell, West Midlands, currently educating 395 pupils against a capacity of 489, meaning it has some room to grow. The school serves a community with significant socio-economic challenges: 50.7% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, a figure well above the national average and a clear indicator of the local context. Despite this, demand for places is strong. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 52 applications for 39 places, with 36 of those coming as first preferences, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.33. This suggests that local families actively choose Tameside over other options, even with a high proportion of pupils facing disadvantage. The school’s nursery provision also feeds into the primary intake, and its religious character is listed as 'does not apply', making it a fully non-denominational option for families across Sandwell.
