About New York Primary School

New York Primary School, a state primary in North Tyneside, received an Outstanding rating in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2024, with every single category — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision — all judged Outstanding. That clean sweep is rare, and it backs up a strong academic story. The school’s key metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined at Key Stage 2, which sits at 82%. That is a full 20 percentage points above the North Tyneside local authority average of 62%, and it places New York Primary first out of 38 primary schools in the borough.
