The last-distance figure is likely to remain tight if demand holds at this level.

The fill-rate figure above reflects overall demand, but the school's intake also varies by community profile. 68.4% of pupils at Newport Primary School are eligible for free school meals, above the national average of around 24%. This reflects the school's role in a higher-deprivation area of Middlesbrough.
