About Bishopton Redmarshall CofE Primary School

Bishopton Redmarshall CofE Primary School is a small Church of England primary in Darlington that punches well above the local average. In the most recent Key Stage 2 results, 73% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a local authority average of 59% for primary schools. That puts the school 6th out of 26 primaries in Darlington, comfortably inside the top 25% nationally. The school’s overall ranking score of 73 reflects strong performance across the board, though it sits behind the top three local peers — St Augustine’s, West Park Academy and St Teresa’s — who all scored 77 or higher. Still, for a school with just 84 pupils and a 17.3% free school meals rate, these results are notably above what you’d typically expect from the area.
