About Caedmon Community Primary School

Caedmon Community Primary School sits within Gateshead local authority, where it ranks 20th out of 61 primary schools on the key stage 2 expected standard measure — placing it comfortably in the top third of its local peers.

The school is a state-funded, mixed-gender primary for children aged 3 to 11, with no religious character. It currently has 239 pupils on roll, which is 29 above its official capacity of 210, and 39.1 per cent of pupils are eligible for free school meals — a figure well above the national average. The headteacher is Clive Wisby, and the school was rated Good in its most recent Ofsted inspection in November 2023, maintaining the same overall effectiveness grade it received in its previous inspection in 2012.
