Kingsley Primary School
Hartlepool, TS25 5JR · Hartlepool · primary school
18th 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 — 6.5/10 against 1,448 of them, against 5.1/10 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 | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 7.0 · 51 | 25% | 1.27 |
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%. Only 7.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in January 2025. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (6.5 out of 10 against similar schools, 5.1 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join clubs including Games, Physio, Science, Chess, Dogs Trust, Crucial Crew, Book Swap, and Homework. Sports cover football, netball, basketball, cricket, and multi-skills. Arts activities include dance, choir, baking, and theatre trips. Trips visit churches, farms, beaches, museums, and local history sites. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 432 pupils in a building with 420 places, meaning it is over capacity by 12. The school is over its stated capacity, so places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the daily routine for the 12 pupils over capacity? What support is available for the 7.0% who reached the higher standard? How does the after-school club integrate with the homework club?
