We deal with the regularity problem for linear, second order parabolic equations and systems in divergence form with measurable data over non-smooth domains, related to variational problems arising in the modeling of composite materials and in the mechanics of membranes and films of simple non-homogeneous materials which form a linear laminated medium. Assuming partial BMO smallness of the coefficients and Reifenberg flatness of the boundary of the underlying domain, we develop a Calder\'{o}n--Zygmund type theory for such parabolic operators in the settings of the weighted Lebesgue spaces. As consequence of the main result, we get regularity in parabolic Morrey scales for the spatial gradient of the weak solutions to the problems considered.
