St Oswald's Catholic Primary, Wrekenton
Gateshead, NE9 7LH · Gateshead · primary school
46th 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 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 5.4/10 against 1,448 of them, against 4.0/10 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 | 56.0 · 30 | 62% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 8.0 · 57 | 38% | 2.19 |
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, 56.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 8.0% reached the higher standard.

Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join Business Club, Computer Club, and Gymnastics, while Summer Sports are also offered. The school provides both a breakfast club and an after-school club.
Getting in. There are 190 pupils in a school with 210 places, leaving 20 spare places. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who are below the expected standard in maths? What specific activities take place during the breakfast and after-school clubs? How does the school maintain its performance relative to similar-intake schools?
