About schools in North Tyneside
- How many schools are there in North Tyneside?
- North Tyneside has 83 open schools — 55 primary, 16 secondary, 7 special, 1 nursery, teaching 30,774 pupils in total.
- How many schools in North Tyneside are rated Good or Outstanding?
- 61 of the 69 schools holding an Ofsted grade — 88% — are rated Good or Outstanding, including 4 rated Outstanding. That share is measured against graded schools, not all 83: a school inspected since September 2024 has no overall grade at all.
- What is the average Academic Performance in North Tyneside?
- 4.9 out of 10, averaged across the 77 schools here that can be scored, where 5 is the national average. Academic Performance combines the Ofsted judgement with DfE attainment and is ranked against comparable schools, so it is neither figure on its own.
- Why do some North Tyneside schools have no Ofsted rating?
- 14 schools in North Tyneside currently hold no overall grade. Ofsted stopped awarding single-word judgements in September 2024 and moved to a report card of separately graded areas, so schools inspected since then have no overall rating whatever the inspection found. Their profiles show the report card instead.
- What does North Tyneside local authority do?
- A local authority is the body responsible for state education in its area — the level most admissions and school-place decisions are made at. North Tyneside covers 83 schools and sits in the North East region. It does not run academies or independent schools directly, though it still coordinates admissions for most of them.
- How many pupils in North Tyneside are eligible for free school meals?
- 27.3% — 8,349 of 30,618 pupils at the 78 schools that report it. Independent schools file a return with roll and sex only, so they are outside this figure rather than counted as zero.
