About Springwell Village Primary School

Springwell Village Primary School sits within Sunderland local authority as a mixed state primary for children aged 3 to 11. In the most recent local rankings of 73 primary schools, it placed 38th, putting it just above the midpoint. Among its closest-performing peers in the authority are St Leonard's Catholic Primary School, Silksworth, Benedict Biscop Church of England Academy, and St Mary's Catholic Primary School, Sunderland — all of which scored higher on the same ranking metric. The school is oversubscribed: for the 2025/26 intake, it received 31 applications for 25 places, with all 25 first-preference applicants offered a spot. That gives an oversubscription ratio of 1.24, suggesting solid local demand. Its most recent Ofsted inspection, in February 2023, rated overall effectiveness as Good, the same grade it held in its previous inspection in 2015. However, the early years provision was judged as Requires improvement, a drop from its previous Good rating in that area, which parents with younger children may want to explore further.
