About Langdale Primary School

Langdale Primary School, a state primary in Newcastle-under-Lyme, holds a Good rating from its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2024, with inspectors singling out several areas as Outstanding. The school’s early years provision, personal development, and behaviour and attitudes all received the top grade, while leadership and management and the quality of education were judged Good. This marks a clear improvement from the school’s previous inspection in 2017, when only overall effectiveness was Good and early years provision was rated Requires Improvement. On the key academic metric for primary schools, 62% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined at Key Stage 2 in the 2023/24 academic year. That figure sits just below the Staffordshire local authority average of 65%, placing Langdale 23rd out of 35 primary schools in Newcastle-under-Lyme and in the bottom half nationally.
