About Aycliffe Village Primary and Nursery School

Aycliffe Village Primary and Nursery School in County Durham has been rated Good by Ofsted, a significant improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating. In its most recent graded inspection in April 2019, inspectors awarded Good marks for both overall effectiveness and leadership and management, while early years provision was also rated Good. This upward trajectory suggests a school that has addressed previous weaknesses and is now delivering a solid standard of education. The school’s most informative exam metric is its Key Stage 2 performance, though the data does not provide a specific school-level score. However, the local authority average for KS2 attainment is 62, and given the school’s Good rating and improving trajectory, parents can reasonably expect outcomes in line with or above this benchmark. With 169 pupils on roll against a capacity of 227, the school is not yet full, which may reflect its recent turnaround story.
