Carr Hill Community Primary School

About Carr Hill Community Primary School

Carr Hill Community Primary School sits in the bottom half of Gateshead primary schools, ranked 50th out of 61, with a KS2 expected standard score of 53% — well below the local authority average of 64%. That gap is significant, and it’s reflected in the school’s national percentile ranking, which places it in the bottom 30% of all primaries. The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023 rated it Good overall, a downgrade from its previous Outstanding rating in 2010, though the ungraded visit confirmed it remains a Good school. For parents comparing headline metrics, the key takeaway is that Carr Hill serves a community with high levels of disadvantage — 62.6% of pupils are eligible for free school meals — and its results need to be read in that context. The school is not a high-performer on raw attainment, but it may be delivering strong progress for its intake; unfortunately, the data doesn’t include Progress 8 scores for primary, so that can’t be confirmed here.
