Burradon Community Primary School
About Burradon Community Primary School
Burradon Community Primary School holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained across its most recent inspections. The school’s most recent graded inspection took place in 2011, and an ungraded visit in 2022 confirmed it remains Good. However, the academic outcomes story is more mixed. At Key Stage 2, just 21% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — well below the North Tyneside local authority average of 62%. The school ranks 37th out of 38 primary schools in the borough on this measure, placing it in the bottom 50 nationally. In individual subjects, 39% reached the expected level in reading, 57% in writing, and only 25% in maths. Higher attainment is rare: 7% achieved a higher standard in reading, 4% in writing, and none in maths. Average scaled scores were 97 for reading and 95 for maths.
