Allendale Primary School

About Allendale Primary School

Allendale Primary School sits in the middle of the pack in Northumberland, ranking 25th out of 58 primary schools in the local authority. Its headline metric — the percentage of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — sits at 57%, which is almost exactly in line with the LA average of 56%. That places the school in the bottom half nationally, but it's worth noting that the school is not underperforming relative to its immediate neighbours. The picture becomes more interesting when you dig into the individual subjects. While 57% of pupils hit the expected standard in reading and in the combined measure, writing tells a very different story: 93% of pupils reached the expected standard in writing, and 14% achieved the higher standard. That is a standout result for a small village primary, and suggests the school has a particular strength in developing written expression. Maths and reading are more mixed, with 64% and 57% at expected level respectively, and the higher-standard figures are modest — 21% in maths and 36% in reading.
