Cleadon Church of England Academy
Sunderland, SR6 7RP · South Tyneside · primary school
3rd of 38 primary schools in South Tyneside we can score, 45 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 the 1,032 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 7.4/10 among them, against 8.7/10 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 | 79.0 · 86 | 40% | 3.43 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 18.0 · 89 | 25% | 2.23 |
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, 79.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 18.0%. Ofsted rated the school Good in April 2024. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 7.4 out of 10 among them, against 8.7 out of 10 nationally.
Getting in. The school has 471 pupils in a capacity of 473 places, leaving 2 spare places. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. With only 2 places remaining, how does the school manage the waiting list for new starters? Since the similar-intake comparison shows a lower score than the national average, what specific strategies are used to support pupils in reaching the higher standard? How does the school maintain its Good rating while operating at near-capacity?
