What the school offers its staff
Throckley Primary is a larger than average primary school based in the Outer West of Newcastle. The school was graded as Outstanding in all areas in its January 2025 Ofsted report and results at the end of Key Stage Two are consistently significantly above National Average – something the school community is very proud of. This wonderful achievement is the result of a continuous drive for improvement; the school strives to deliver the very best quality of education and transform the lives of its pupils.
The learning environment and facilities that the school offers are exceptional. The school is committed to providing a purposeful and empowering curriculum that fully prepares learners for the next steps in their school career and opens the doors to the wider world.
The school is involved in an extensive range of external developments and partnerships:
- We are proud to have staff from Throckley Primary School on local delivery teams for the National Professional Qualification (NPQ) in Leading Teaching; the NPQ in Leading Teacher Development; and the NPQ in Behaviour and Culture. Additionally, members of the Throckley team support the delivery of the ECF programme by facilitating training for both Early Careers Teachers, and mentors, supporting the work of an approved local ECF delivery partner. We are actively involved in Initial Teacher Training and continuing professional development. This thriving team has a wealth of experience and expertise, which both newly qualified and more experienced practitioners will undoubtedly benefit from and contribute to.
- We pride ourselves in being an evidence-informed school; staff development is central to our practice. A number of staff are currently studying towards National Professional Qualifications, all of which have an impact on wider staff development and, in turn, pupil outcomes.
- We are a Behaviour Hub lead school and this programme gives us an excellent opportunity to share our exemplary behaviour culture and practices with other schools regionally and nationally.
- We are proud to be an accredited Pupil Book Study training school. Pupil Book study provides a systematic, evidence-informed toolkit which supports schools in evaluating the quality and impact of curriculum, through studying teaching and learning.
- We are an academy which is part of ONE (OWL North East) Trust, alongside seven other primary schools in the Outer West of Newcastle upon Tyne. This Trust is a collaborative and forward-thinking group of schools, which works to continue to improve the lives and educational outcomes of children across the Outer West.
