Red dashed line = one first choice per place. How to read this

Every child who put Newcomen Primary School first was offered a place in 2026, so no distance cut-off applied: living further away did not cost a place that year.

Application figures: DfE, school level applications and offers (2026 intake).

About Newcomen Primary School

Newcomen Primary School is a primary school in Redcar and Cleveland, classified by the DfE as a community school. Around 345 pupils aged 3 to 11 attend the school. In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 93% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — well above the national average of 61%. That marks an improvement of 1.0 percentage points in the proportion reaching the expected standard on the previous year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it among the top 1% of primary schools in England.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 112 in reading and 110 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 28% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). Newcomen Primary School was not oversubscribed for September 2026: all 42 families who put it first were offered a place. Overall pupil absence was 4.1%. There are about 18.7 pupils per teacher. Newcomen Primary School does not currently have a recent graded Ofsted judgement on record (often the case for newer or recently converted schools), so it is worth asking when its next inspection is expected. This overview is generated automatically from the latest published DfE performance tables and Ofsted data; figures are rounded, and you can check the originals via the official links above.
