Rosa Street Primary and Nursery Academy
Spennymoor, DL16 7NA · County Durham · primary school
75th 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 — 6.6/10 against 2,058 of them, against 5.4/10 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 | 70.0 · 65 | 40% | 2.62 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 4.0 · 35 | 25% | 0.88 |
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, 70.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 4.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in March 2025. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (6.6 out of 10 against similar schools, 5.4 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils participate in football, athletics, alternative sports festivals, and Sportability events. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 234 pupils in a building with 210 places, meaning it is over capacity by 24. Consequently, places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the daily routine for children arriving before the official start time, given the lack of a breakfast club? What specific support is offered to help pupils progress from the expected standard to the higher standard in core subjects? How does the school ensure all 234 students have equal access to the various sports festivals and events?
