About Ravenswood Primary School

Ravenswood Primary School sits within Newcastle upon Tyne’s state primary landscape, where it ranks 24th out of 55 schools of its type in the local authority. That places it comfortably in the top half of the city’s primaries, though it sits behind a cluster of high-performing Catholic schools nearby — St Oswald’s in Gosforth, St Vincent’s in Newcastle, and St Charles’ — which occupy the top three spots locally. The school is a mixed, non-denominational state primary for children aged 3 to 11, with a nursery on site and a current roll of 613 pupils against a capacity of 690. Headteacher Reuben Anderson leads a school that has held a Good rating from Ofsted across both its most recent graded inspection in 2014 and its ungraded inspection in 2023, which confirmed the school remains Good. The nearest school rated Outstanding is St Teresa’s Catholic Primary in Heaton, about 0.8 kilometres away.
