Shiremoor Primary School
Newcastle-upon-Tyne, NE27 0PW · North Tyneside · primary school
13th of 45 primary schools in North Tyneside we can score, 55 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 — 7.8/10 against 1,767 of them, against 6.4/10 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 | 77.0 · 82 | 40% | 3.28 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 4.0 · 35 | 25% | 0.88 |
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, 77.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 4.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in April 2024. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (7.8 out of 10 against similar schools, 6.4 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join Lego, Multi-Skills, Running, Yoga, Fitness, Board Games, Cookery, Choir, and Craft clubs, as well as Judo, Basketball, Football, Dance, and Cricket. There is no breakfast or after-school club.
Getting in. The school has 319 pupils in a building with 418 places, leaving 99 spare places. This means the school has real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than it is built for.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who arrive without a breakfast club? What specific strategies are used to raise the 4.0% of pupils reaching the higher standard? How does the current class size impact individual attention compared to the school’s full capacity?
