Check the area around this school
2nd 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.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 9.6/10 against 3,846 of them, against 9.3/10 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 | 100.0 · 100 | 40% | 3.99 |
| Ofsted | 92 | 35% | 3.22 |
| 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.
Greatham CofE Primary School overview
How it's doing
In 2024/25, 100.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. 14.0% reached the higher standard, against a national median of 7%. Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so they are not simply a reflection of who attends (9.6 out of 10 against similar schools, 9.3 out of 10 against all schools). The school was inspected in November 2025 under the new report-card framework, which grades each area separately and gives no overall grade.

Getting in

Worth asking on a visit
How does the school manage class sizes when the roll exceeds the official capacity? What specific support is available for pupils who do not reach the higher standard? How are the breakfast and after-school clubs structured to support daily routines?
