St Oswald's CofE Aided Primary School
About St Oswald's CofE Aided Primary School
St Oswald's CofE Aided Primary School sits just below the South Tyneside local authority average for the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at Key Stage 2. The school's figure of 63% is one percentage point behind the LA average of 64%, placing it 21st out of 37 primary schools in the borough. That puts it in the middle of the pack locally, though it's worth noting the gap is tiny — essentially in line with the typical school in the area. The school's ranking within the North East region is similarly middling, at 347th out of 677 primaries. Where St Oswald's does stand out is in its reading and writing results: 80% of pupils met the expected standard in each of those subjects, comfortably above the maths figure of 73%. The school also achieved a higher-than-expected proportion of pupils working at greater depth in reading, at 27%, compared with 17% in both maths and writing.
