About Corbridge (VA) Church of England First School

Corbridge Church of England First School holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained across both its most recent graded inspection in 2019 and an ungraded visit in 2025, where inspectors confirmed that standards are being maintained. The school’s most informative exam metric is its Key Stage 2 performance, which sits at 56% of pupils meeting the expected standard in reading, writing and maths. That figure matches the local authority average for Northumberland exactly, placing Corbridge in line with the typical primary school in the area rather than ahead of the pack. For context, the top-performing school in the local authority, Eastlea Primary School, scores 82 on the same measure, so there is a noticeable gap between Corbridge and the highest achievers. Still, the school’s consistency is worth noting: every area of its Ofsted inspection — from quality of education to behaviour and early years provision — was rated Good, with no weaker grades pulling down the overall picture.
