Blackhall Primary School
Hartlepool, TS27 4NA · County Durham · primary school
104th of 188 primary schools in County Durham we can score, 208 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 5.5/10 against 1,402 of them, against 4.0/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 53.0 · 24 | 40% | 0.96 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 10.0 · 66 | 25% | 1.65 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. In 2024/25, 53.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 10.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in May 2023. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (5.5 out of 10 against similar schools, 4.0 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. The school offers both a breakfast club and an after-school club for wraparound care.
Getting in. There are 310 pupils in a school with 360 places, leaving 50 spare places. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who are below the national median in core subjects? What specific activities take place during the breakfast and after-school clubs? How does the school maintain its Good Ofsted rating while managing a pupil population that is fairly full?
