Tudhoe Colliery Primary School
Spennymoor, DL16 6TJ · County Durham · primary school
33rd 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 — 7.1/10 against 4,127 of them, against 6.9/10 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 | 72.0 · 71 | 62% | 4.35 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 10.0 · 66 | 38% | 2.54 |
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, 72.0% 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. 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 (7.1 out of 10 against similar schools, 6.9 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join the Teatime Club and participate in archery, fencing, disability sports, and yoga. The school provides both a breakfast club and an after-school club.
Getting in. The school has 204 pupils in a capacity of 210, leaving 6 spare places. This means the school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the competitive nature of admissions with only 6 places remaining? What specific support is available for the 10.0% of pupils who reached the higher standard? How are the breakfast and after-school clubs structured to support families?
