About Red Row Primary School

Red Row Primary School, a state primary in Northumberland, holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained consistently across its two most recent inspections. The most recent graded inspection took place in 2013, and an ungraded inspection in 2023 confirmed the school remains Good, with leadership and management also judged Good. While the school does not have published Key Stage 2 SATs results in the data, the local authority average for KS2 attainment sits at 56, providing a benchmark for the area. The school’s small size, with just 116 pupils against a capacity of 210, suggests a close-knit environment where individual progress may be closely monitored. The headteacher, Richard Bollands, leads a school that has held a Good rating for over a decade, indicating stable leadership and consistent quality.
