About Dunn Street Primary School

Dunn Street Primary School is a small state primary in South Tyneside, one of 45 schools of its type in the local authority. It sits within a competitive local landscape where the top-performing peers include Biddick Hall Junior School, Cleadon Church of England Academy and Forest View Primary. The school is led by headteacher Michelle Trotter and caters for 138 pupils aged 2 to 11, operating just under its capacity of 147. A notably high proportion of its intake — 63.6 per cent — qualifies for free school meals, which is significantly above the national average and reflects the school's role in a community with higher-than-average deprivation. Dunn Street is a mixed, non-religious school with no sixth form but does offer nursery provision. Its most recent Ofsted inspection, an ungraded visit in 2022, confirmed that the school remains Good, a rating it has held consistently across both its graded inspections.
