About Fordley Primary School

Fordley Primary School’s headline Key Stage 2 result of 62 per cent of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths places it exactly on the North Tyneside local authority average. That makes it a school that is neither outperforming nor underperforming its neighbours, but sitting squarely in the middle of the pack. In the local authority rankings, Fordley comes 24th out of 53 primary schools on this metric, and 23rd out of 38 when ranked by the same measure among schools with published data. The school’s national percentile of 51.6 puts it just above the halfway mark across England. But the combined figure masks a more uneven picture: 87 per cent of pupils met the expected standard in reading and 81 per cent in maths, while writing lagged at 70 per cent. The proportion reaching the higher standard in all three subjects was just 4 per cent, compared with 15 per cent who managed the higher bar in maths alone. So Fordley is a solidly average school by its headline metric, but one where reading and maths outcomes are notably stronger than writing.
