About Bedlington Station Primary School

Bedlington Station Primary School holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained since at least its most recent ungraded inspection in October 2023, which confirmed the school 'remains Good'. The most telling academic metric comes from the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 results: 47% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That figure sits below the Northumberland local authority average of 56%, and places the school 38th out of 58 primary schools in the county. Broken down by subject, reading was the strongest area, with 70% reaching the expected standard and 17% working at a higher level. Maths and writing saw 57% and 67% of pupils at the expected standard respectively, though only 3% achieved the higher standard in maths. The school's ranking score of 47 puts it in the bottom 50 nationally, and 577th out of 677 schools in the North East region.
