About South Street Community Primary School

South Street Community Primary School in Gateshead is a state primary that significantly outperforms the local authority average on the headline KS2 measure. In the 2023/24 academic year, 75% of its pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a Gateshead average of 64% for the same phase. That puts the school in the top 25% nationally for this metric, and 15th out of 61 primary schools in the borough. It’s a strong result for a school where over half of pupils (51.7%) are eligible for free school meals, a figure well above the national average. The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection, in March 2024, awarded a Good rating across all categories — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. That’s a notable improvement from its previous inspection in February 2022, when the school was rated Requires Improvement across the board.
