About Rowlands Gill Community Primary School

Rowlands Gill Community Primary School sits in the bottom half of Gateshead primary schools when ranked by the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at Key Stage 2, placing 52nd out of 61 schools in the local authority. Its 52% achieving that benchmark is twelve percentage points below the Gateshead average of 64%, which is a notable gap. However, the school’s reading average score of 106 is solid, and its maths average of 103 is respectable, suggesting that while fewer children hit the combined threshold, those who do are performing at a decent level. The school also has a relatively high proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals at 17%, which may partly explain the lower headline figure. The most recent Ofsted inspection in June 2023 awarded a Good rating across all categories, including behaviour, leadership and early years provision — a clear improvement from the Requires Improvement judgement the school received in September 2019.
