About Wheatlands Primary School

Wheatlands Primary School in Redcar and Cleveland is a state primary for mixed pupils aged 3 to 11, currently home to 427 children against a capacity of 498. That leaves some headroom, but the school is clearly in demand: for the 2025/26 intake, it received 61 total applications for 46 places, with 46 first-preference offers made, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.33. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals sits at 9.3%, which is notably lower than the national average for primary schools (typically around 23-24%), suggesting the school draws from a relatively less deprived catchment. Headteacher Samantha Pyle leads a school that has held a Good rating from Ofsted since at least its 2014 graded inspection, and an ungraded visit in 2022 confirmed it remains Good. The early years provision, leadership and management, and overall effectiveness were all rated Good at the last graded inspection.
