Knop Law Primary School
Newcastle-upon-Tyne, NE5 1DS · Newcastle upon Tyne · primary school
12th 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 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 8.3/10 against 2,777 of them, against 7.4/10 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 | 6.0 · 45 | 38% | 1.72 |
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, 83.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 6.0% reached the higher standard. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (8.3 out of 10 against similar schools, 7.4 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join clubs including Choir, First Aid, Yoga, Quidditch, Razzamataz, Guitar, Flute, and Clarinet. Sports options cover Football, Multi-skills, Cross Country, Gymnastics, Basketball, and Dodgeball, alongside Dance. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 401 pupils in a capacity of 420 places, leaving 19 spare spots. With so few places remaining, admission is likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the competitive nature of admissions when places are nearly full? What specific support is offered to help pupils progress from the expected standard to the higher standard? How does the after-school club integrate with the wider curriculum or extracurricular activities?
