The best schools in Newcastle-upon-Tyne

There are 137 schools in Newcastle-upon-Tyne listed on FindGreatSchools: 102 primary, 21 secondary, 6 independent and 8 special. Each listing links to a full profile with Ofsted information, results and demographics where published.

Under our composite score, West Jesmond Primary School is the highest-ranked primary school and St Mary's Catholic School is the highest-ranked secondary school in Newcastle-upon-Tyne. The score blends Ofsted inspection, attainment, progress and engagement into one A to F grade, weighted by data completeness. Independent and special schools are listed by Ofsted rating rather than scored.

Because they are measured on different things: primary schools on Key Stage 2 SATs, secondary schools on GCSE results and Progress 8. A grade A primary and a grade A secondary are not the same measurement, so we never rank them against each other. Each phase has its own full ranking for Newcastle-upon-Tyne, linked from its section above.
