Neville's Cross Primary School and Nursery
Durham, DH1 4JG · County Durham · primary school
69th 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 the 3,139 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.4/10 among them, against 5.5/10 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 | 67.0 · 57 | 40% | 2.28 |
| 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, 67.0% 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 July 2024. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.4 out of 10 among them, against 5.5 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join the Tea Time Club, afterschool activity clubs, choir, and music lessons, and attend performances. The school provides both a breakfast club and an after-school club.
Getting in. There are 277 pupils in a school with 297 places, leaving 20 spare places. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who are not reaching the higher standard? What specific activities are offered in the afterschool clubs? How does the breakfast club operate for early arrivals?
