Ofsted: Good · 2024 Inspected 2 years ago Mixed Primary
7.1/10 Above average

7th 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 — 9.2/10 against 2,058 of them, against 8.1/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 76.0 · 80 40% 3.19
Ofsted 52 35% 1.81
Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 15.0 · 84 25% 2.09

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, 76.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 15.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in June 2024. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (9.2 out of 10 against similar schools, 8.1 out of 10 against all schools).

Getting in. The school has 440 pupils in a capacity of 498, leaving 58 spare places. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who do not reach the higher standard in maths? What does the daily timetable look like for a Year 6 student? How does the school engage parents in their child’s learning progress?
