About Shotton Primary School

Shotton Primary School, a state primary in County Durham for children aged 3 to 11, holds a Good rating from Ofsted following its most recent graded inspection in 2012, a standard it has maintained through an ungraded inspection in 2022. The school’s most telling academic metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which stands at 59 per cent. That figure is just three percentage points below the County Durham local authority average of 62 per cent, placing Shotton 104th out of 170 primary schools in the area. While the school sits in the bottom 50 per cent nationally on this measure, the gap to the local norm is narrow, suggesting solid core provision. The data also shows that 72 per cent of pupils met the expected standard in maths individually, and 69 per cent did so in writing, with reading at 63 per cent. At the higher standard, writing leads at 16 per cent, followed by maths at 9 per cent and reading at 6 per cent.
