Ferryhill Station Primary School
Ferryhill, DL17 0DB · County Durham · primary school
173rd 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.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 0.5/10 against 238 of them, against 0.5/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. 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 | 20.0 · 1 | 40% | 0.04 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 0.0 · 10 | 25% | 0.26 |
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, 20.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. 0.0% reached the higher standard. Its results are much the same when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so the gap is not explained by intake (0.5 out of 10 either way). Ofsted rated the school Good in November 2022.
Getting in. The school has 59 pupils in a building with 105 places, leaving 46 spare spots. This means there is real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than the school is built for.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who are significantly below the national median in core subjects? What specific interventions are in place for the 0.0% who reached the higher standard? How does the small class size impact the range of activities offered during the school day?
