About Durham Lane Primary School

Durham Lane Primary School holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained consistently across its two most recent inspections. The 2022 ungraded inspection confirmed the school remains Good, with leadership and management judged Outstanding. The most telling exam metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which stands at 83 per cent. That figure places the school comfortably above the Stockton-on-Tees local authority average of 66 per cent for primary schools. In fact, Durham Lane ranks 8th out of 55 primary schools in the borough, putting it in the top 10 per cent locally. Nationally, it sits in the top 8 per cent of all primary schools for this combined measure. The school’s ranking score of 83 reflects strong academic performance, though it sits behind local peers such as Wolviston Primary School, Egglescliffe Church of England Primary School and Junction Farm Primary School, which all score higher.
