Schools in North Tyneside

65 schools with published admissions figures

The newest figures for each school. "1st prefs per place" is how many families put the school first, for each place it gave out. It measures demand, not whether a child would get a place. A dash means the figure is not available.

How the 2026 round went in North Tyneside

Primary

For September 2026, 91.7% of families applying for a primary place here were offered their first choice, and 96.2% were offered one of the three schools they named.

That is 1.1 points lower than in 2016, when it was 92.8%.

The council's primary schools between them had 2,516 places for 2,025 applications. That is a total for the whole council and says nothing about any one school in it.

Secondary

For September 2026, 84.3% of families applying for a secondary place here were offered their first choice, and 94.4% were offered one of the three schools they named.

That is 11.6 points lower than in 2016, when it was 96.0%.

The council's secondary schools between them had 1,743 places for 1,685 applications. That is a total for the whole council and says nothing about any one school in it.

If a family is refused a place

In 2026, families in North Tyneside lodged 255 appeals about a school place.

218 of them were heard by a panel and 48 succeeded, which is about 22 in every 100 heard.

The other 37 did not reach a panel. Most appeals that do not are withdrawn because a place comes up first.

This is a record of decisions already made. A panel hears one case at a time and decides it on what that family sets out, so these figures do not indicate what would happen in any particular appeal.
