About Percy Main Primary School

Percy Main Primary School holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained across both its most recent graded inspection in March 2022 and its previous inspection in 2011. The school's 2022 report awarded Good across every category, including quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership and management. The early years provision was also rated Good. When it comes to academic outcomes at Key Stage 2, the most telling metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which stands at 48%. That figure is notably below the North Tyneside local authority average of 62%, and it places the school 33rd out of 38 primary schools in the borough, in the bottom 50% nationally. Individually, reading and writing expected rates are stronger at 70% and 63% respectively, while maths sits at 59%. Only 4% of pupils achieved the higher standard in maths, and none did so in reading, writing and maths combined.
