How are the schools in Jesmond performing?

There are four secondary schools in Jesmond.

The two state schools are:

  • Jesmond Park Academy, rated Good by Ofsted in June 2022. At GCSE, 47% achieve a grade 5 or more in both maths and English. 20.0% of pupils achieve AAB or higher at A-Level.
  • Northern Counties School, rated Good in February 2024. This is a special needs school, hence GCSE and A-Level data is not available.
 

Private schools don’t get rated by Ofsted. The two private schools in Jesmond are:

  • Newcastle High School for Girls. 80% get grade 5 or above in GCSE Maths and English. 24.5% get AAB or higher at A-level.
  • Royal Grammar School. GCSE data is not available. A lot of private schools use international GCSEs, and these aren’t recorded. However 63.8% of students get AAB or higher at A-Level. Compare this to the 2nd best result in Newcastle of 32.1% Dame Allan’s Senior School.

 

For reference, in the Newcastle local authority, 40% get grade 5 GCSE Maths/English and 11.8% get AAB+ at A-Level. For England it’s 45% grade 5+ and 15.8% AAB+.

One of the best results in the UK was at St Paul’s Girls’ School in Hammersmith – 84.4% get AAB or higher at A-Level, and 99% of their GCSE results were 7-9 or equivalent.
