Cragside Primary School
Newcastle-upon-Tyne, NE7 7EL · Newcastle upon Tyne · primary school
4th of 63 primary schools in Newcastle upon Tyne we can score, 72 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to the 3,389 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 7.9/10 among them, against 8.5/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 83.0 · 92 | 62% | 5.65 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 12.0 · 74 | 38% | 2.84 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. In 2024/25, 83.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. A further 12.0% reached the higher standard. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 7.9 out of 10 among them, against 8.5 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. The school offers both a breakfast club and an after-school club.
Getting in. There are 410 pupils in a school with 420 places, leaving 10 spare places. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the transition for new starters when there are only 10 places available? What specific support is provided for pupils who do not reach the expected standard? How are the breakfast and after-school clubs structured to support families?
