About Lynnfield Primary School
Lynnfield Primary School in Hartlepool has turned a corner. Its most recent Ofsted inspection in March 2023 awarded an overall rating of Good, a clear improvement from the Requires Improvement grade it received in 2019. The turnaround is consistent across the board: every graded category — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision — now sits at Good. That matters because in Hartlepool, only two out of 30 primary schools currently hold an Outstanding rating, so Good is a strong and reliable benchmark. The school’s most informative exam metric is its Key Stage 2 performance. Lynnfield’s average scaled score in reading, maths and GPS (grammar, punctuation and spelling) sits at 68, which is exactly in line with the local authority average for Hartlepool. That places the school on solid ground academically, performing at the typical level for the area.
