About Corpus Christi Catholic Primary School, Gateshead

Corpus Christi Catholic Primary School in Gateshead holds an Outstanding rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained across both its most recent graded inspection in 2023 and its previous one in 2008. The inspection report awarded top marks across every category, including Quality of Education, Behaviour and Attitudes, Personal Development, and Leadership and Management. The school’s strongest academic headline comes from its Key Stage 2 results for the 2023/24 year, where 77% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That figure sits well above the Gateshead local authority average of 64% for the same measure, and it places Corpus Christi 10th out of 61 primary schools in the area — comfortably inside the top 25% nationally.
