About Gurney Pease Academy

Gurney Pease Academy holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained since its previous graded inspection in 2013 and which was confirmed as unchanged in an ungraded inspection in 2021. The most telling academic metric for this primary school is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined at Key Stage 2, which stands at 40%. That figure places the school well below the Darlington local authority average of 59% for the same measure, and ranks it 23rd out of 26 primary schools in the borough. In the North East region it sits in the bottom half of schools, and nationally it falls in the bottom 10% by this metric. The picture is mixed across individual subjects: while 87% of pupils met the expected standard in writing, only 43% did so in reading and 50% in maths. No pupils achieved the higher standard in reading or the combined measure, though 13% did so in writing and 10% in maths.
