About Neville's Cross Primary School and Nursery

Neville's Cross Primary School and Nursery sits within the County Durham local authority, where it ranks 43rd out of 170 primary schools on the key stage 2 expected standard measure, placing it in the top 25 per cent of its peers. The three highest-ranked schools in the area are Montalbo Nursery & Primary School, Shincliffe CofE (Controlled) Primary School, and Cestria Primary School, all of which sit above Neville's Cross on the same metric. The school's most recent Ofsted inspection, carried out in June 2024, rated it Good overall, with Outstanding marks for both personal development and behaviour and attitudes. That's a notable improvement from its previous inspection in 2011, which also awarded a Good overall but did not give Outstanding in any category. The early years provision, previously rated Good, has held steady at Good. With 289 pupils on roll against a capacity of 297, the school is close to full, and its nursery provision means children can join from age two.
