Ofsted: Inadequate · 2022 Inspected 4 years ago Mixed Primary
0.4/10 Well below average

45th 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.

Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 0.6/10 against 549 of them, against 0.6/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

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, 29.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 0.0% reached the higher standard. Its results are much the same when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so the gap is not explained by intake (0.6 out of 10 either way). Ofsted rated the school Inadequate in July 2022.

Getting in. The school has 159 pupils in a building with 210 places, leaving 51 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 has the school addressed the specific areas highlighted in the 2022 Ofsted report? What steps are being taken to raise attainment from 29.0% towards the national median? How does the school support pupils who have not yet reached the expected standard in core subjects?
