Peases West Academy
Crook, DL15 9SZ · County Durham · primary school
138th 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 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 4.0/10 against 516 of them, against 2.5/10 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 | 58.0 · 35 | 40% | 1.39 |
| 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, 58.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. No pupils reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in January 2024. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (4.0 out of 10 against similar schools, 2.5 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. The school does not currently list any specific clubs, sports, or arts activities.
Getting in. There are 114 pupils in a school with 119 places, leaving 5 spare spots. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who have not yet reached the expected standard in core subjects? What are the specific steps taken to improve attainment in reading and writing? How does the academy manage the competitive nature of its limited remaining places for new admissions?
