Sedgefield Hardwick Primary Academy
Stockton-on-Tees, TS21 3DA · County Durham · primary school
4th 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.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 9.7/10 against 4,360 of them, against 9.5/10 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 | 87.0 · 96 | 40% | 3.82 |
| Ofsted | 96 | 35% | 3.37 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 23.0 · 95 | 25% | 2.37 |
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, 87.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 23.0%. Ofsted rated the school Outstanding in November 2024. 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 (9.7 out of 10 against similar schools, 9.5 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils attend the Extraordinary Us music event and visit Tynemouth Aquarium. Both a breakfast club and an after-school club are available.
Getting in. The school has 256 pupils in a building with 210 places, meaning it is over capacity by 46. Because the school is over its stated capacity, places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the daily routine with 46 more pupils than its designated capacity? What specific support is offered during the breakfast and after-school clubs? How does the music programme extend beyond the annual Extraordinary Us event?
