About Chopwell Primary School

Chopwell Primary School, a state primary for children aged 2 to 11 in Gateshead, holds a Good rating from its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2022, a grade it has maintained consistently across both its recent inspections. The school’s most telling academic metric is its Key Stage 2 performance in reading, writing and maths combined: 57% of pupils met the expected standard in the 2023/24 academic year. That figure sits below the local authority average of 64% for Gateshead, and places the school 45th out of 61 primaries in the borough, putting it in the bottom half of the local rankings. Nationally, it ranks in the 64th percentile among all primary schools. The picture is more mixed when you look at individual subjects: 83% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, and 74% did so in maths, but writing lagged behind at 70%. At the higher standard, maths was the strongest subject, with 35% of pupils achieving it, while no pupils reached that level in reading and writing combined.
