Jarrow Cross CofE Primary School
Jarrow, NE32 5UW · South Tyneside · primary school
17th of 38 primary schools in South Tyneside we can score, 45 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 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 7.3/10 against 1,807 of them, against 6.0/10 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 | 65.0 · 52 | 62% | 3.19 |
| 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.

How it's doing. In 2024/25, 65.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 12.0%.

Beyond the classroom. Pupils join the School Council, Health Champions, Eco Committee, Forest School, and Mini Police. Sports include gymnastics, football, tennis, hockey, and cricket. Both a breakfast club and an after-school club are available.
Getting in. The school has 293 pupils in a capacity of 315 places, leaving 22 spare spots. This means the school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the Forest School curriculum integrate with the main classroom timetable? With 22 places remaining, what is the process for securing a spot if you move into the area mid-year? How does the school support pupils who are working towards the expected standard in maths?
