Catchgate Primary School

About Catchgate Primary School

Catchgate Primary School sits in County Durham, a local authority where the average Key Stage 2 attainment score for primary schools is 62. The school itself has not published its own KS2 results in the data we have, so it is impossible to say whether it beats or trails that LA benchmark. What we do know is that Catchgate is a Good school, a rating it earned in its most recent graded inspection in 2012 and confirmed in an ungraded inspection in 2023. That puts it in the majority of County Durham primaries — only eight out of 208 schools in the authority hold an Outstanding rating, so Good is a solid, respectable position. The school has improved notably over time: its previous graded inspection in 2010 rated it Requires Improvement overall, with leadership and management at a 2 but early years provision at a 3. The current Good rating across leadership, management and overall effectiveness represents a clear step up.
