Throckley Primary is a larger than average primary school based in the Outer West of Newcastle. The school was graded outstanding in all areas in our November 2013 Ofsted.  We are ranked in the top 100 of primary schools in the country (out of over 16,000) in the 2023 DfE Primary School Performance Tables.  This ranking puts us in the top 1% of primary schools nationwide.  This wonderful achievement is the result of a continuous drive for improvement, where the whole school community strives to deliver the best quality of education and transform the lives of our pupils.
