About Kelloe Primary School

Kelloe Primary School, a state primary in County Durham, stands out for its strong academic performance relative to the local authority average. While the LA average for Key Stage 2 attainment sits at 62, Kelloe’s most recent Ofsted inspection in 2019 rated the school as Good overall, with leadership and management, early years provision, and the quality of education all judged to be Good. This is a notable improvement from its previous inspection in 2013, when the school was rated Requires Improvement. The school is small, with 139 pupils against a capacity of 140, and has a high proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals at 39.1%, well above the national average. Despite this, the school has clearly raised its game, and the Ofsted ungraded inspection in 2019 confirmed it remains Good. For parents comparing options in County Durham, Kelloe is performing above the typical LA benchmark for its phase.
