St Cuthbert's Catholic Primary School, Chester-Le-Street
Chester le Street, DH3 3PH · County Durham · primary school
40th 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 3,829 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 6.7/10 among them, against 7.6/10 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 | 77.0 · 82 | 40% | 3.28 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 10.0 · 66 | 25% | 1.65 |
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, 77.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 10.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in December 2023. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 6.7 out of 10 among them, against 7.6 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join the DMS School Choir, Ukulele Club, Around the World, and Activity Club. Sports include KS2 Morning Football Skills, KS1 and KS2 Multi-sports, and the KS2 Football Club. ELD Musical Theatre & Dance provides arts and music opportunities. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 220 pupils in a capacity of 243, leaving 23 spare places. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who do not reach the higher standard in core subjects? What specific activities are included in the after-school club? How does the school manage the transition for pupils moving from KS1 to KS2 multi-sports programmes?
