Easington CofE Primary School
Peterlee, SR8 3BP · County Durham · primary school
20th 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 — 7.0/10 against 3,233 of them, against 6.4/10 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 | 65.0 · 52 | 40% | 2.07 |
| Ofsted | 91 | 35% | 3.19 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 15.0 · 84 | 25% | 2.09 |
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, 65.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 15.0%. Ofsted rated the school Good in March 2026. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (7.0 out of 10 against similar schools, 6.4 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join clubs including Cookery, Choir, Yoga/Dance, Lego, Science, and Move with Max. Sports cover Table Tennis, Swimming, Football, Netball, Cricket, Tennis, and Cross-country. Trips visit Hall Hill Farm, Seaham Beach, Beamish, and London. Both a breakfast club and an after-school club are available.
Getting in. The school has 156 pupils in a capacity of 147, meaning it is over capacity by 9. The school is over its stated capacity, so places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the daily routine with 9 more pupils than its official capacity? What specific support is available for pupils who do not reach the higher standard in maths? How are the breakfast and after-school clubs structured to support families?
