About Eldon Grove Academy

Eldon Grove Academy’s Key Stage 2 results place it just below the Hartlepool local authority average for the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. The school recorded 66% achieving this benchmark, compared with the LA average of 68%. That two-point gap is modest, and the school’s overall ranking of 17th out of 26 primary schools in Hartlepool puts it in the middle of the pack. Where Eldon Grove does stand out is in writing: 79% of pupils met the expected standard, and 26% reached the higher standard — both figures that suggest a particular strength in this area. Reading and maths expected rates were 73% and 71% respectively, with average scores of 105 in both subjects. The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection, an ungraded visit in March 2024, confirmed it remains Good overall, with leadership and management also rated Good. Its early years provision, however, continues to be rated Outstanding — a grade it has held since its previous graded inspection in 2019.
