About Hawthorn Primary School

Hawthorn Primary School sits within Newcastle upon Tyne local authority, a mixed state primary for children aged 4 to 11. In the most recent local rankings of primary schools by KS2 expected standards, it placed 29th out of 55 schools in the borough, putting it in the bottom half of its tier. For context, the top-performing peers in the same local authority include St Oswald's Catholic Primary School in Gosforth, St Vincents Catholic Primary School, and St Charles' Catholic Primary School, all of which achieved higher ranking scores. The nearest school rated Outstanding by Ofsted is Westgate Hill Primary Academy, just 0.6 kilometres away. Hawthorn itself was graded Good in its most recent graded inspection in 2019, and an ungraded inspection in May 2024 confirmed the school remains Good. That marks a clear improvement from its previous graded inspection in October 2016, when overall effectiveness was rated Requires Improvement. Leadership and management, early years provision, and the quality of education were all judged Good in the 2019 inspection.
