About St Aloysius Catholic Infant School, Hebburn

St Aloysius Catholic Infant School, Hebburn is one of only five primary schools in South Tyneside rated Outstanding by Ofsted, placing it among the top-performing state primaries in the local authority. Its most recent inspection, an ungraded visit in May 2025, confirmed that standards are being maintained, and the school holds Outstanding grades for early years provision, leadership and management, and overall effectiveness from its last graded inspection in 2019. Among its closest peers in the area, the school sits alongside Biddick Hall Junior School, Cleadon Church of England Academy, and Forest View Primary, all of which score highly on the local ranking. St Aloysius is a Roman Catholic infant school for children aged three to seven, with a nursery on site, and is led by headteacher Anna Tumelty. It is directly paired with St Aloysius Catholic Junior School Academy, which is also rated Outstanding, meaning families can expect a consistent standard of education through to age 11.
