About St Aidan's Church of England Memorial Primary School

St Aidan's Church of England Memorial Primary School in Hartlepool holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a significant step up from its previous Requires Improvement judgement. The school was inspected in 2022, when inspectors confirmed it remains Good, with leadership and management, early years provision, and overall effectiveness all rated Good. The most telling exam metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which sits at 56%. That is below the Hartlepool local authority average of 68%, and it places the school 23rd out of 26 primary schools in the borough. In the North East region, it ranks 471st out of 677 schools, putting it in the bottom half nationally. The school's ranking score of 56 places it in the bottom 50 tier, meaning there is clear room for improvement in core academic outcomes, though the Ofsted judgement suggests the school is on a positive trajectory.
