Henshaw Church of England Primary School
About Henshaw Church of England Primary School
Henshaw Church of England Primary School holds a Good rating from its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023, a grade it has maintained consistently across both its inspections. The school was judged Good in every category inspected, including quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. With just 81 pupils on roll against a capacity of 105, it is a small, intentionally-sized primary. The most telling academic metric available is the local authority’s average Key Stage 2 score of 56 for Northumberland primary schools. While Henshaw’s own KS2 results are not published in this data, the school sits within a local context where the top-performing peers — Eastlea, Belsay, and St Aidan’s — score between 80 and 82, suggesting a competitive but achievable benchmark. The school’s relatively low proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals (14.8%) is slightly below the national average, which may reflect the demographic of its catchment.
