About Westmoor Primary School

Westmoor Primary School in North Tyneside has undergone a significant turnaround since its last full inspection. In its most recent graded inspection in October 2024, Ofsted awarded the school a Good rating for overall effectiveness, a clear step up from the Requires Improvement judgement it received in November 2022. The inspection report highlights particular strengths in the early years and personal development, both of which were rated Outstanding. Behaviour and attitudes, leadership and management, and the quality of education were all judged to be Good. This improvement is reflected in the school’s academic outcomes. At Key Stage 2, 76% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, placing Westmoor 9th out of 38 primary schools in the local authority and within the top 25% nationally. This is well above the North Tyneside local authority average of 62%.

Looking more closely at the 2023/24 KS2 results, the school’s performance is strong across the core subjects. In maths, 83% of pupils reached the expected standard and the average score was 107, while 40% achieved the higher standard. Reading saw 81% reach the expected level with an average score of 106, and 29% hit the higher mark. Writing was a particular strength, with 86% meeting the expected standard. The proportion of pupils achieving the higher standard in reading, writing and maths combined was 10%. Parent feedback is very positive, with 82% of respondents saying they would recommend the school. In the Parent View survey, 97% of parents agreed or strongly agreed that their child is happy at the school, and 92% felt their child does well there.
