29th 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 — 4.2/10 against 1,976 of them, against 3.7/10 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 | 58.0 · 35 | 40% | 1.39 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 5.0 · 40 | 25% | 1.00 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

What Ofsted said about Wallsend Jubilee Primary School
Overview
Wallsend Jubilee Primary School continues to be a good school, described as a “happy and relaxed” environment where relationships are “warm, trusting and respectful.” Pupils feel safe, achieve well, and demonstrate a “love of reading” within a curriculum that is generally well designed and ambitious.
Strengths
- The curriculum is “well designed” and “ambitious,” with lessons sequenced so that learning builds on prior knowledge, helping pupils connect ideas across subjects.
- Reading is the “bedrock of all learning,” supported by consistent phonics routines, a revamped library, and staff who ensure no pupil falls behind.
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are fully included, receiving the “same curriculum offer” with adapted support, ensuring “no pupil misses out.”
- The early years setting is “highly effective,” fostering curiosity and preparing children for a “rapid start” in Year 1.
- Staff morale is strong, with leaders actively supporting well-being, creating a team that “works well together.”
Areas to improve
- In “a few subjects,” the “big ideas that link learning are vague or not yet understood by pupils,” which limits their ability to retain knowledge over time.
- The school must ensure all subject plans are “equally well structured and mapped out” so that pupils learn equally well across the whole curriculum.
- Leaders are working to improve attendance for a small number of pupils who are “persistently absent,” which remains a high priority.
Safeguarding
The report states that “the arrangements for safeguarding are effective.”
