About St Cuthbert's Catholic Primary School, Sunderland

St Cuthbert's Catholic Primary School in Sunderland sits comfortably above the local authority average for Key Stage 2 outcomes, with 70% of its pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a Sunderland average of 67%. That three-point gap might not sound enormous, but it places the school 26th out of 73 primary schools in the authority, putting it in the top half of its local peers. The school's reading results are particularly strong: 87% of pupils met the expected standard, and the average reading score of 106 is notably above the national benchmark of 100. In maths, 73% reached the expected standard with an average score of 104. Where the school really shines is in personal development, which Ofsted rated Outstanding in its most recent inspection in September 2024, even as the overall effectiveness was not formally judged. That inspection marked a change from the school's previous Outstanding rating in 2013, with leadership and management, behaviour and attitudes, and quality of education all now graded Good.
