About Ravensworth Terrace Primary School

Ravensworth Terrace Primary School in Gateshead is a mixed, non-religious state primary for children aged 4 to 11, currently home to 382 pupils against a capacity of 420. That leaves a small amount of headroom, but the school is clearly in demand: for the 2025/26 intake, it received 92 applications for just 49 places, with 48 of those going to first-preference families. The oversubscription ratio sits at 1.88, meaning nearly two families compete for every spot. The pupil body is notably diverse in terms of disadvantage: 22.8% of children are eligible for free school meals, which is above the national average for primary schools and suggests the school serves a community with above-average levels of economic need. Headteacher Andrew Ramanandi leads a school that has held a Good rating from Ofsted since its most recent inspection in 2024, though its previous inspection in 2011 rated it Outstanding across the board.
