About White Mere Community Primary School

White Mere Community Primary School in Gateshead holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained consistently across its two most recent inspections. The most telling academic metric for this primary school is its Key Stage 2 performance in reading, writing and maths combined. In the 2023/24 academic year, 62% of pupils reached the expected standard in all three subjects, which is just two percentage points below the Gateshead local authority average of 64%. This places the school 36th out of 61 primary schools in the borough, putting it in the bottom half of the local league table. While the combined figure is close to the local norm, the school’s individual subject results tell a more nuanced story. Reading stands out as a clear strength, with 90% of pupils hitting the expected standard and 43% achieving a higher score. Maths is also solid, with 76% reaching the expected level and an average scaled score of 105. However, writing and the combined higher standard are weaker points, with only 5% of pupils achieving the higher threshold in both writing and the three-subject measure.
