About Gosforth East Middle School

Gosforth East Middle School sits within a local authority where the average Progress 8 score for secondary schools is -0.4, meaning pupils across Newcastle upon Tyne typically leave school with slightly lower attainment than their peers nationally. Against this backdrop, Gosforth East’s own Progress 8 score is not provided in the data, so a direct numerical comparison isn’t possible. What we do know is that the school’s most recent graded Ofsted inspection, in 2017, rated it Good overall, and an ungraded inspection in 2023 confirmed it remains Good. That places it among the majority of the 19 secondary schools in the LA, only two of which hold an Outstanding rating. The nearest Outstanding school, St Mary’s Catholic School, is 1.7 km away. For families weighing up options, Gosforth East’s Good rating is a solid, steady benchmark, though it doesn’t reach the top tier of local performance.
