Stanhope Primary School
About Stanhope Primary School
Stanhope Primary School sits comfortably above the local authority average for Key Stage 2 outcomes, with 70% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared to a South Tyneside average of 64%. That six-point gap is a meaningful one, and it places the school 12th out of 37 primaries in the borough, putting it in the top third locally. The school also outperforms the LA average on individual subjects: 90% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, and 80% in maths. At the higher standard, reading again stands out, with 40% of pupils achieving it, while maths and writing sit at 27% and 13% respectively. The average scaled scores of 107 in reading and 105 in maths are solid, and the school’s national percentile ranking of roughly 30 suggests it is performing better than around seven in ten primaries across England. For a school with 59.5% of pupils eligible for free school meals, these results are particularly notable.
