About Ashfield Nursery School

Ashfield Nursery School in Newcastle upon Tyne was rated Good by Ofsted following its most recent graded inspection in June 2024, a change from its previous Outstanding rating in 2012. The inspection report awarded Good across all four assessed categories: quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership and management. For a nursery school serving children aged two to four, this is the single most informative metric available — there are no SATs, Progress 8 scores or A-Level results to consider. The school is one of only three state nursery schools in Newcastle upon Tyne, and none of them currently hold an Outstanding rating, so a Good result places Ashfield in strong company locally. Headteacher Anne Humble leads a school of 90 pupils, with 13 per cent eligible for free school meals, a figure that gives some indication of the catchment’s mix of backgrounds.
