Throston Primary School
Hartlepool, TS26 0TJ · Hartlepool · primary school
27th 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 — 2.9/10 against 2,829 of them, against 3.1/10 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 | 58.0 · 35 | 40% | 1.39 |
| Ofsted | 9 | 35% | 0.32 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 2.0 · 24 | 25% | 0.60 |
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%. Only 2.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in February 2026. Its results are much the same when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so the gap is not explained by intake (2.9 out of 10 against similar schools, 3.1 out of 10 against all schools).
Getting in. The school has 472 pupils in a building with 420 places, meaning it is over capacity by 52. Consequently, places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the daily routine with 52 more pupils than its stated capacity? What support is available for pupils who are not reaching the expected standard in maths? How does the school handle the transition for children moving into this over-subscribed environment?
