About Shilbottle Primary School

If you're researching Shilbottle Primary School, the experience of current parents is a strong starting point. The school's most recent Ofsted inspection, in January 2023, rated it Good overall, with all inspected areas — including behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership — also judged Good. This is a notable improvement from its previous inspection in 2019, when the school was rated Requires Improvement. While the school doesn't publish a parent-view survey percentage, the fact that it is a state primary in Northumberland with a capacity of 151 suggests a relatively intimate setting. The school is not oversubscribed in a way that would be flagged in the data, which may indicate that local families who want a place typically get one. Headteacher Craig Shaw leads a mixed, non-denominational school for children aged 4 to 11, with no nursery provision. The school grounds include a sports hall, playing fields, an outdoor playground, art studios, and even a chapel, which is unusual for a state primary.
