About Glynwood Community Primary School

Glynwood Community Primary School in Gateshead was rated Good in its most recent Ofsted inspection, which took place in November 2024. That represents a step down from its previous inspection in 2013, when it was judged Outstanding across the board. The 2024 report gave the school Good marks for quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. The most telling academic metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined at Key Stage 2: just 38% did so in the 2023/24 academic year. That is well below the Gateshead local authority average of 64% and places Glynwood 58th out of 61 primary schools in the borough, putting it in the bottom 50 nationally. On individual subjects, 67% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, 57% in writing and 52% in maths, while only 2% reached the higher standard across all three.
