Fens Primary School
Hartlepool, TS25 2LY · Hartlepool · primary school
9th of 27 primary schools in Hartlepool we can score, 30 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 — 8.7/10 against 3,285 of them, against 7.9/10 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 | 75.0 · 78 | 40% | 3.11 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 14.0 · 81 | 25% | 2.03 |
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, 75.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 14.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in July 2023. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (8.7 out of 10 against similar schools, 7.9 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join the Choir, Digital Leaders, TV Club, Gardening Club, Vocal Group, and KS 2 Drama. Sports include Multi Sports, Street Dance, Table Tennis, Boys and Girls Football Practice, Tag Rugby, Netball, and Fit For Life. A breakfast club is available, but there is no after-school club.
Getting in. The school has 457 pupils in a capacity of 496, leaving 39 spare places. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who do not reach the higher standard in maths? What are the specific times for the breakfast club? How does the school manage the transition for Year 6 pupils given the recent inspection date?
