About Berwick St Mary's Church of England Primary School
Berwick St Mary's Church of England Primary School sits in a local authority where the average Key Stage 2 score for primary schools is 56, but the school itself doesn't publish its own KS2 results in the available data, making a direct academic comparison impossible. What is clear from the local context is that Northumberland has 127 primary schools, with only nine rated Outstanding by Ofsted, so a Good rating — which Berwick St Mary's holds — places it comfortably within the solid middle tier of provision. The school's most recent graded inspection in 2017 awarded it Good across the board, and a subsequent ungraded inspection in 2023 confirmed it remains Good, suggesting consistent quality rather than a recent leap. With 108 pupils against a capacity of 105, the school is effectively full, and its oversubscription ratio of 1.2 (10 first-preference offers from 12 total applications) indicates modest but genuine local demand, though not the fierce competition seen at the top-performing peers in the area.
