About Albany Village Primary School

Albany Village Primary School in Sunderland sits in the bottom half of local primaries, ranking 66th out of 81 schools in the local authority. Its headline KS2 metric — the percentage of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — stands at 55%, which is 12 percentage points below the Sunderland average of 67%. That gap is significant and places the school in the bottom 50 nationally by this measure. However, the picture is more nuanced when you look at individual subjects. In reading, 79% of pupils hit the expected standard and 34% reached the higher standard, both solid figures. Maths tells a similar story, with 76% at expected and 21% at higher. The real drag comes from writing, where only 10% reached the higher standard, and the combined measure pulls the overall score down. So while the headline figure looks weak, the school is performing reasonably well in reading and maths, with writing being the clear area for improvement.
