About East Herrington Primary Academy
East Herrington Primary Academy’s Key Stage 2 results comfortably outpace the Sunderland local authority average, marking it as a strong performer in the area. While the LA average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined sits at 67%, this school achieves 75%. That puts it 16th out of 73 primary schools in Sunderland, placing it in the top 25% nationally. The school also outperforms the LA average on individual subjects: 85% of pupils meet the expected standard in maths, 82% in reading and 89% in writing. At the higher standard, 11% of pupils achieve across all three subjects, with maths leading at 16%, followed by reading and writing both at 18%. These figures suggest a school that consistently delivers above the local norm, particularly in writing, where the gap between expected attainment and the LA average is widest.
