About Cheviot Primary School

Cheviot Primary School sits in the top 40 per cent of primary schools nationally for the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at Key Stage 2, and its 67 per cent result in that combined measure edges ahead of the Newcastle upon Tyne local authority average of 63 per cent. That gap is modest but meaningful, especially given that more than three-quarters of Cheviot’s 203 pupils are eligible for free school meals — a figure far above the national average and one that makes the school’s solid headline performance all the more striking. In the LA rankings, Cheviot places 22nd out of 55 primary schools, putting it comfortably in the top half locally. Its overall Ofsted rating is Good, awarded after a graded inspection in 2022, and the inspectors singled out behaviour and attitudes, plus personal development, as Outstanding — the highest possible mark. The school has held a Good rating across both its recent inspections, with the previous one in 2013 also grading it Good overall.
