About Ovingham Middle School

Ovingham Middle School is a state secondary for pupils aged 9 to 13 in Northumberland, and while the most recent data doesn't include a parent recommendation percentage, the school's oversubscription ratio offers a strong signal of local confidence. With 347 pupils on roll against a capacity of 384, the school is not currently oversubscribed, which suggests it is meeting demand comfortably rather than being stretched. The school's most recent Ofsted inspection in March 2024 was an ungraded visit that confirmed it remains Good, a rating it has held consistently across both its graded inspections. The previous graded inspection, in December 2012, also awarded Good for overall effectiveness, leadership and management, and behaviour and attitudes. This stability in quality over time is a reassuring indicator for parents looking for a reliable middle school option in the area.
