About St Augustine's Catholic Primary School, Gateshead

St Augustine's Catholic Primary School sits within the Gateshead local authority, where it ranks 21st out of 61 primary schools — comfortably in the top half of the area. Among its local peers, it is outpaced by three higher-scoring schools: St Mary & St Thomas Aquinas Catholic Primary School in Blaydon, Clover Hill Community Primary School, and St Philip Neri Catholic Primary School in Dunston. The school is a state-funded Roman Catholic primary for mixed-gender pupils aged 3 to 11, with a nursery on site. It is led by headteacher Gabrielle Lynch and currently has 333 pupils on roll, slightly above its official capacity of 315. A significant 37.8 per cent of pupils are eligible for free school meals, well above the national average, reflecting the school's role in a community with higher-than-average deprivation. The school's most recent Ofsted inspection, an ungraded visit in July 2024, confirmed that it remains Good, a rating it has held consistently since at least its previous graded inspection in 2012.
