Prince Bishops Community Primary School
About Prince Bishops Community Primary School
Prince Bishops Community Primary School sits in County Durham, where the average Key Stage 2 score across all primary schools is 62. The school’s own headline metrics are not directly provided in the data, but its Ofsted profile offers a useful contrast. While the local authority has only 8 schools rated Outstanding out of 208 primaries, Prince Bishops held an Outstanding rating in its previous inspection in 2011. In its most recent graded inspection in February 2024, the school was judged Good overall, with personal development still rated Outstanding. That drop from Outstanding to Good is notable, but the school remains above the typical local pattern, where the vast majority of primaries are not Outstanding. The school’s leadership and management, behaviour and attitudes, and quality of education all received Good grades, meaning it is performing solidly against the LA average, even if it no longer sits in the top tier.
