About Hurworth Primary School

Hurworth Primary School sits in the Darlington local authority, where it ranks 13th out of 26 primary schools on its Key Stage 2 expected standard measure. That places it exactly in the middle of the pack locally, though the three schools above it — St Augustine's Catholic Primary, West Park Academy, and St Teresa's Catholic Primary — all hold higher ranking scores. The school is a state-funded, mixed primary for children aged 5 to 11, with no religious character and no nursery or sixth form provision. Its most recent Ofsted inspection, an ungraded visit in November 2023, confirmed that the school remains Good, a rating it has held consistently across both its graded inspections. The headteacher is Alison Maddison, and the school currently has 221 pupils on roll, slightly above its official capacity of 210.
