About St Bede's Catholic Primary School, Jarrow

Ofsted's Parent View survey, based on 20 responses collected between September 2024 and September 2025, shows that 85% of parents would recommend St Bede's Catholic Primary School in Jarrow. That's a strong signal, and it's backed up by the detail: 95% of parents either agreed or strongly agreed that their child is happy at the school, and the same proportion felt the school has high expectations for their child. A full 95% also agreed or strongly agreed that their child does well there. The school is clearly popular locally, too. For the 2025/26 reception intake, St Bede's received 28 applications for just 16 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.75. Of those 28 applications, 14 were first-preference choices, and all 14 of those families were offered a place. So while getting in is competitive, being a first-preference applicant clearly helps.
