Throckley Primary School
Newcastle-upon-Tyne, NE15 9DY · Newcastle upon Tyne · primary school
2nd 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 — 9.8/10 against 1,592 of them, against 9.3/10 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 | 87.0 · 96 | 62% | 5.88 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 18.0 · 89 | 38% | 3.43 |
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, 87.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 18.0%. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (9.8 out of 10 against similar schools, 9.3 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join Comic Book Adventures, Let's Get Cooking, Science Investigations, Lego & ICT Club, Allotment, Languages, Media Club, and Raspberry Pi Coding Club. Sports include Gymnastics, Football Clubs for all ages, Dodgeball Club, and Basketball Club. Arts and music options are Choir, Drumming, Arts & Crafts for all ages, Violin Club, and Folk Band Club. There is no breakfast club or after-school club.
Getting in. The school has 398 pupils in a building with 315 places, meaning it is over capacity by 83. The school is over its stated capacity, so places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the high demand for places given the 83-pupil overage? What support is available for pupils who do not reach the higher standard? How do parents arrange supervision before and after school hours?
