St Bernadette's Catholic Primary, Wallsend

About St Bernadette's Catholic Primary, Wallsend

St Bernadette's Catholic Primary in Wallsend is one of 53 state primary schools in North Tyneside, sitting 24th out of 38 in the local authority's rankings for Key Stage 2 outcomes. That places it in the bottom half of the LA table, though the picture is more nuanced than a single rank suggests. The three top-performing peers in the borough — New York Primary, Cullercoats Primary, and St Mary's Catholic Primary in Cullercoats — all score higher on the ranking metric, but St Bernadette's holds its own as a Roman Catholic school with a distinct identity. Its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2024 confirmed the school remains Good overall, with leadership and management judged Outstanding — a notable strength. The previous graded inspection in 2013 had also rated the school Good overall, so the current rating represents consistency rather than a change. The school serves 313 pupils, very close to its capacity of 315, and 15.9% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, which is slightly above the national average for primary schools.
