About Hylton Castle Primary School

Hylton Castle Primary School was rated Good in its most recent graded inspection, a significant improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating. The school’s most telling academic metric is its Key Stage 2 combined reading, writing and maths expected standard attainment: 45% of pupils reached this benchmark in 2023/24. That figure sits well below the Sunderland local authority average of 67%, and places the school 72nd out of 73 primary schools in the area. Digging into the individual subjects, 62% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, 69% in maths, and 52% in writing. Higher-attaining pupils were a small minority: 24% achieved the higher standard in reading, 7% in maths, and none in writing. The school’s average scaled scores were 103 for reading and 100 for maths, both around the national baseline. Nationally, Hylton Castle ranks in the bottom 15% of primary schools by this combined measure, and in the bottom half of schools across the North East region.
