About Wyndham Primary School

Wyndham Primary School is a state primary in Newcastle upon Tyne that currently educates 196 pupils against a capacity of 210, meaning it has a small number of spare places. However, the school is clearly in demand: for the 2025/26 intake, it received 32 applications for 25 places, with 19 of those being first-preference choices. This gives an oversubscription ratio of 1.28, so competition is real but not extreme. The school serves a community with a high level of disadvantage — 41% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, well above the national average of around 23%. This context matters when interpreting the school's academic results, as schools with higher FSM rates often face additional challenges. Wyndham is a mixed, non-religious primary for ages 3 to 11, with a nursery on site, and is led by headteacher Kate Chisholm. Its most recent Ofsted inspection, an ungraded visit in October 2024, judged overall effectiveness to remain Good, though inspectors noted that some aspects were not as strong.
