About South Hylton Primary Academy

South Hylton Primary Academy holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained since its most recent graded inspection in 2012 and confirmed in an ungraded visit in 2021. The most telling academic metric for this 266-pupil primary in Sunderland is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. At 61%, this figure sits below the local authority average of 67%, placing the school 52nd out of 73 similar schools in Sunderland and in the bottom half nationally. Individual subject results tell a more nuanced story: 71% of pupils met the expected standard in writing, and 65% did so in reading, but maths was weaker at 61%. The school’s average scaled scores — 103 in reading and 102 in maths — are close to the national benchmark of 100, suggesting that while most children achieve a solid baseline, fewer than average are stretching beyond it. Only 13% of pupils scored at the higher standard in maths, and just 3% did so in writing.
