About Langley Moor Primary School

Langley Moor Primary School sits within County Durham’s primary landscape as a solidly performing state school, ranking 29th out of 170 primary schools in the local authority — comfortably inside the top 25% of its tier. That puts it in the company of the area’s strongest peers, though it trails the top trio of Montalbo Nursery & Primary School, Shincliffe CofE (Controlled) Primary School, and Cestria Primary School, which occupy the highest ranking scores in the LA. The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection, an ungraded visit in June 2022, confirmed it remains Good, a notable improvement from its previous graded inspection in 2013 when it was judged Requires Improvement. Leadership and management, alongside overall effectiveness, were both rated Good. For families weighing up options in the Durham area, Langley Moor offers a dependable, mid-ranking choice with a clear upward trajectory in its regulatory standing.
