About Tyneview Primary School

Tyneview Primary School in Newcastle upon Tyne holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained across both its most recent inspections. The school’s most recent graded inspection took place in 2015, and an ungraded inspection in 2021 confirmed it remains Good. The strongest headline metric for academic outcomes is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined at Key Stage 2. In the 2023/24 academic year, 77% of Tyneview’s Year 6 pupils achieved this benchmark, placing the school sixth out of 55 primary schools in Newcastle upon Tyne and in the top 25% nationally. That figure sits well above the local authority average of 63%, suggesting the school is delivering solid results for its pupils compared with others in the area.

Digging into the individual subject scores, 84% of pupils met the expected standard in both reading and writing, while 81% did so in maths. The proportion reaching the higher standard in each of these subjects was 10%, which is modest but consistent across the three areas. Average scaled scores were 103 in reading and 104 in maths, both slightly above the national benchmark of 100. The school does not publish progress scores for reading, writing or maths, so it is not possible to measure how much value Tyneview adds relative to pupils’ starting points. However, the combined expected standard figure is a strong indicator of overall attainment. With 57% of pupils eligible for free school meals, the school serves a community with above-average levels of disadvantage, making these results particularly noteworthy.

Tyneview is a mixed, non-denominational primary school for children aged 2 to 11, with nursery provision on site. It has capacity for 300 pupils and currently enrols 262, so there is some headroom.
