About St Columba's Catholic Primary School, Wallsend

St Columba's Catholic Primary School in Wallsend sits below the North Tyneside average for its key stage 2 headline measure. In the 2023/24 academic year, 43% of its pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a local authority average of 62%. That places the school 34th out of 53 primary schools in the borough, in the bottom half of the local rankings. The gap is most noticeable in maths, where 60% of pupils met the expected standard, and in writing, where the figure was 53%. Reading fared better, with 73% reaching the expected level and 23% achieving the higher standard. The school's Progress 8 scores are not available, so it is not possible to say whether pupils are making typical progress from their starting points. However, the school's most recent Ofsted inspection, an ungraded visit in April 2025, found that standards were being maintained, and the school has held a Good rating since its previous graded inspection in 2013.
