Tweedmouth West Primary School
About Tweedmouth West Primary School
Tweedmouth West Primary School is a small state primary in Northumberland with just 97 pupils on roll, and its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2025 rated it Good across every category, including behaviour, personal development, and early years provision. The school has held a Good rating since at least its previous graded inspection in 2020, and the ungraded visit in 2025 confirmed that standards are being maintained. While the data doesn't include the school's own Key Stage 2 SATs results, the local authority average for primary schools sits at 56, which gives a useful benchmark for parents comparing schools in the area. Tweedmouth West is oversubscribed: for the 2025/26 intake, it received 35 applications for 23 places, and all 23 first-preference applicants were offered a spot. That oversubscription ratio of 1.52 suggests the school is well-regarded locally, though it's worth noting that the school is operating well below its capacity of 218, which may reflect its rural location or demographic trends rather than any issue with quality.
