About Lambton Primary School

Lambton Primary School in Sunderland was rated Good in its most recent graded Ofsted inspection in 2019, and a subsequent ungraded inspection in July 2024 confirmed that it remains Good. The school’s early years provision, however, was judged Outstanding in that 2024 visit. When it comes to academic outcomes at the end of Key Stage 2, the most telling metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined: 55 per cent. That figure sits below the Sunderland local authority average of 67 per cent, and it places the school 63rd out of 73 primary schools in the borough. Nationally, Lambton ranks in the bottom half of all primary schools on this measure, at the 68th percentile. The school’s overall ranking score of 55 puts it in the bottom 50 tier nationally, though it is worth noting that the school serves a community where a quarter of pupils are eligible for free school meals.
