About Hedworth Lane Primary School

Hedworth Lane Primary School sits right on the South Tyneside average for the key measure of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at Key Stage 2, with both the school and the local authority at 64%. That places it squarely in the middle of the pack, ranked 20th out of 37 primary schools in the borough. While it doesn't pull ahead of the LA average, it also doesn't fall behind, which is a solid, dependable position for a school of its size. Where it does show a slight edge is in reading: 82% of pupils hit the expected standard, and the average scaled score of 105 is a touch above what you'd typically see nationally. Maths is a bit weaker by comparison, with 70% reaching the expected level and an average score of 104. The school's overall ranking in the North East region is similarly mid-table, sitting at 340 out of 677 primaries, which reinforces the picture of a school that performs reliably without being a standout outlier.
