About Bede Community Primary School

Bede Community Primary School in Gateshead holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it maintained in its most recent ungraded inspection in October 2024, where inspectors confirmed that standards were being upheld. The school’s most telling academic metric comes from its Key Stage 2 results for the 2023/24 academic year, where 50% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. This figure sits below the Gateshead local authority average of 64%, placing the school 53rd out of 61 primary schools in the borough. The school’s ranking in the bottom half of its local authority is a clear signal that while it provides a solid education, its core academic outcomes are not among the strongest in the area. That said, the school serves a community with high levels of disadvantage, with 47.2% of pupils eligible for free school meals, a context that often depresses headline attainment figures.
