About Star of the Sea Catholic Primary School, Whitley Bay

Star of the Sea Catholic Primary School in Whitley Bay posts a KS2 expected standard in reading, writing and maths of 63%, which sits just one point above the North Tyneside local authority average of 62%. That marginal edge places it in the middle of the pack for the area — ranked 22nd out of 38 primary schools in the borough, and in the 49th percentile nationally. The school’s reading and writing scores are notably stronger than its maths: 84% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading and 86% in writing, compared with 73% in maths. At the higher standard, reading again leads at 24%, while maths and writing both sit at 12%. The proportion of pupils achieving the higher standard across all three subjects is just 2%, which is low. With 21.7% of pupils eligible for free school meals, the school serves a slightly above-average proportion of disadvantaged children for the area, and its results suggest solid, if not spectacular, academic performance relative to its peers.
