About Langley First School

Langley First School is a state primary in North Tyneside that serves children from age 3 to 9, and its headline metrics place it comfortably above the local authority average for its type. The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection, carried out in 2022, awarded it a Good rating across every category, including overall effectiveness, quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and early years provision. That’s a solid, consistent result, though it’s worth noting that the school was previously rated Outstanding back in 2007. In the wider North Tyneside context, only five out of 53 primary schools currently hold an Outstanding grade, and the nearest one, New York Primary School, is 1.7 km away. Langley’s Good rating therefore puts it in the majority of local primaries, but its strong inspection record and above-average local standing make it a reliable choice for families in the area.
