Check the area around this school
3rd of 27 primary schools in Hartlepool we can score, 30 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 — 10.0/10 against 3,073 of them, against 10.0/10 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 | 100.0 · 100 | 40% | 3.99 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 40.0 · 100 | 25% | 2.49 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

What Ofsted said about St Peter's Elwick Church of England Primary School
Overview
The report describes a school where pupils are “proud to attend” and benefit from a curriculum that “prepares them well for life.” Leaders are praised for being “relentless in their efforts to teach every pupil to value themselves and others,” creating an environment where behaviour is “exemplary” and personal development is “exceptional.”
Strengths
- Behaviour is “exemplary,” with pupils learning to be “polite and courteous” and bullying being “not a problem.”
- The curriculum for personal development is “exceptional,” fostering a “highly developed understanding of equality and democracy.”
- Early reading leadership is “strong,” with staff trained in phonics ensuring pupils who need extra support “receive the help that they need.”
- Leaders make “excellent use of research, expert advice and best practice” to ensure the curriculum is “ambitious and relevant.”
- Staff feel “valued and supported,” appreciating opportunities for professional development and consideration of their workload.
Areas to improve
- In some subjects, curriculums are “not currently consistently embedded,” meaning pupils “sometimes cannot recall what they have learned.” Leaders must ensure pupils are supported to “embed key concepts, use knowledge fluently and develop their understanding over time” in all subjects.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are “effective,” with pupil welfare at the heart of the school’s culture and leaders maintaining “thorough records of actions taken.”
