About Stocksfield Avenue Primary School

Stocksfield Avenue Primary School sits in a tricky spot compared with other primary schools in Newcastle upon Tyne. The local authority average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at Key Stage 2 is 63 per cent, but at Stocksfield Avenue that figure is 47 per cent. That is a gap of 16 percentage points, and it places the school 50th out of 55 primaries in the LA — firmly in the bottom half. The picture is similar when you look at higher-standard attainment: just 2 per cent of pupils hit the top mark across all three subjects, and only 12 per cent did so in maths. On the other hand, the school’s average reading score of 103 and maths score of 101 are both above the national baseline of 100, suggesting that while fewer children reach the expected combined threshold, many are still making solid progress in individual subjects.
