About Hutton Henry CofE (Controlled) Primary School
Hutton Henry CofE (Controlled) Primary School is a small Church of England primary in County Durham, one of 208 state primary schools in the local authority. It sits within a competitive local landscape where the top-performing peers include Montalbo Nursery & Primary School, Shincliffe CofE (Controlled) Primary School, and Cestria Primary School. With a school capacity of just 58 pupils, Hutton Henry is notably intimate, serving a mixed-gender cohort from ages 4 to 11. The school does not offer nursery provision or a sixth form, focusing entirely on its primary phase. Its Church of England character is reflected in the presence of a chapel on site, alongside facilities such as music rooms, a gymnasium, playing fields, a sports hall, and an ICT suite. The headteacher, Susan Gibbins, leads a school that has been rated Good by Ofsted, a rating that places it in the majority of County Durham primaries, where only eight out of 208 schools have achieved an Outstanding grade.
