About The Reginald Mitchell Primary School

The Reginald Mitchell Primary School is a state-funded, mixed-gender primary school in Newcastle-under-Lyme, Staffordshire, serving children from age 3 to 11. With 194 pupils on roll against a capacity of 210, it operates slightly below its maximum, leaving some room for growth. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 29.9%, which is notably higher than the national average for primary schools, indicating a catchment area with above-average socio-economic challenges. Despite this, the school is clearly in demand: for the 2025/26 intake, it received 38 applications for 26 places, with all 26 first-preference applicants offered a spot. This oversubscription ratio of 1.46 suggests a strong local reputation, though the school is not yet at full capacity overall. The school does not have a religious character, and it includes a nursery provision, making it a practical choice for families seeking continuity from early years through to Year 6.
