About Consett Junior School

Consett Junior School’s headline Key Stage 2 results sit slightly below the County Durham average for primary schools, but the gap is narrow and the picture is more nuanced than a single number suggests. The school achieved 56% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with the local authority average of 62%. That places Consett Junior 109th out of 170 primary schools in County Durham, putting it in the bottom half of the LA. However, the school’s reading and maths average scores tell a different story: pupils scored an average of 105 in reading and 103 in maths, both above the national benchmark of 100. This suggests that while fewer children than average are hitting all three targets simultaneously, those who do meet the expected standard are often doing so with solid scores. The school also outperforms the LA average on writing, with 82% of pupils reaching the expected standard — a strong result that hints at particular strength in literacy.
