Yarm Primary School
About Yarm Primary School
Parents considering Yarm Primary School will be reassured by the strong vote of confidence from local families. For the 2025/26 reception intake, the school received 61 applications for just 32 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.91. Of those 61 applications, 29 were first-preference choices, and all 29 first-preference families were offered a place. This level of demand suggests the school has a solid reputation within Stockton-on-Tees, and it is worth noting that the school has nursery provision for children from age two, which may give some families an early foot in the door. The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection, an ungraded visit in February 2024, confirmed that Yarm Primary remains a Good school, with leadership and management, early years provision, and overall effectiveness all rated Good. Its previous graded inspection in 2018 also awarded Good across the board, so the school has maintained a consistent standard for some time.
