About Monkhouse Primary School

Monkhouse Primary School sits comfortably above the local authority average for its key stage 2 results, with 77% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That compares favourably against the North Tyneside average of 62% for primary schools, placing the school 7th out of 38 primaries in the borough and inside the top 25% nationally. The gap is even more pronounced at the higher standard: 7% of Monkhouse pupils achieved that top tier in all three subjects, while the LA average for that measure isn't available to compare directly. The school's reading and maths average scores of 107 and 105 respectively suggest solid foundations, and the proportion of pupils hitting the expected standard in individual subjects is consistently strong — 90% in reading, 87% in writing and 83% in maths. That's a notably consistent profile across the core subjects, which is often a sign of reliable teaching across the board rather than a single standout area.
