About Springmoor Grange School

Springmoor Grange School’s headline Key Stage 2 results land exactly on the County Durham local authority average of 62% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths. That places it in the middle of the pack for a state primary in this part of the North East — ranked 94th out of 208 similar schools in the borough, and just inside the national median at the 52nd percentile. It’s a solid, unflashy performance that reflects the school’s overall character: reliable rather than exceptional. The school’s Ofsted rating of Good, confirmed in a June 2024 inspection, is consistent with that picture. Interestingly, the previous inspection in 2019 rated leadership and management as Outstanding and early years provision as Outstanding too, but the most recent report brought both down to Good, alongside behaviour, personal development and the quality of education. So while the school has held its Good overall rating, it has lost some of its earlier standout grades.
