Emmaville Primary School
Ryton, NE40 4ND · Gateshead · primary school
9th of 62 primary schools in Gateshead we can score, 66 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 3,912 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 6.7/10 among them, against 7.5/10 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 | 75.0 · 78 | 62% | 4.78 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 11.0 · 71 | 38% | 2.72 |
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, 75.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 11.0% reached the higher standard. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 6.7 out of 10 among them, against 7.5 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join a choir and Steel Pan club, learn drums, piano, guitar, ukulele, violin, penny whistle, and trumpet, and take trips to London in Year 6 and Yorkshire in Year 5. Both breakfast and after-school clubs are available.
Getting in. The school has 442 pupils in a building with 420 places, meaning it is over capacity by 22. This means places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the daily routine with 22 more pupils than its stated capacity? What specific support is offered to pupils who are not yet meeting the expected standard? How are the various music instruments allocated among the pupils?
