Ellingham Church of England Primary School
About Ellingham Church of England Primary School
Ellingham Church of England Primary School sits in Northumberland, a local authority where the average Key Stage 2 score for primary schools is 56. The school itself has not published its own KS2 results in the data provided, so a direct numerical comparison against that LA average isn't possible here. What is clear from the Ofsted record, however, is that the school has made a significant improvement in its overall effectiveness rating. In its 2015 graded inspection, it was rated 'Requires improvement' across leadership, management, and early years provision. By its most recent graded inspection in 2017, it had jumped to a 'Good' rating, and a subsequent ungraded inspection in 2023 confirmed it remains 'Good' and is described as 'Improving'. This trajectory of improvement stands out in a local context where only nine out of 127 primary schools in the authority hold an 'Outstanding' rating, meaning a solid 'Good' with an upward trend is a credible and reassuring position for parents.
