With a higher than average 426, Byker Primary School has a large number of pupils in the UK. Having almost an equal mix of male and female students, they have 49.8% girls and 50.2% boys. Academic attainment has long been linked with good attendance at school. With a 94% attendance rate, the attendance is below national average. With 21.8 members of staff, the school has significantly more teachers than most schools in a similiar location. They have a very low (pupil to teacher) ratio, which permits the teacher to give more focused attention in a smaller class size.

KS2 results offer the opportunity to gauge attainment to ensure struggling pupils are given the correct support at a much earlier stage in their secondary education, whilst providing excelling pupils the opportunity to be stretched. Byker Primary School achieved an average KS2 score of 106, which is far below the nations average. This School provides an average full time teacher`s salary of £36473 , a high figure for the UK. Only 62.5% of pupils speak English as a 1st language in the school, a proportion much lower than the countries average figure.

Ofsted

About Ofsted

Ofsted have been inspecting schools on a regular basis since 2005. After a cursory warning period they undertake a thorough examination of the whole school. Inspectors will sit in on classes, assessing each teacher's teaching ability. They will also evaluate the way the current curriculum is implemented, and how the progress of each student is tracked throughout their tenure.

Each school is graded on a four point scale: 1 being outstanding, 2 being good, 3 means they require improvement, and 4 signifying inadequate. Those schools attaining an outstanding or good grade might not be re-inspected for as long as five years; while those receiving lower grades will be reassessed with greater frequency, with little or no notice prior to the inspectors arriving.
