School admissions allocation statistics

The figures on this page show the data for school places for primary school (Reception) and secondary school (Year 7) intakes for the last 7 years. These are based on children living in the Middlesbrough Council area only, including late applications and children with special educational needs.

You can also view a detailed breakdown of statistics for primary and secondary school admissions for the years 2018 to 2023.

To see a breakdown of the statistics for previous years' Reception and Year 7 intakes by each school's oversubscription criteria, check the School Admissions Guide for Parents. Each booklet gives the statistics for the previous year's intake.
