About Toft Hill Primary School

Toft Hill Primary School was rated Good in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2024, with inspectors noting that personal development and behaviour and attitudes are both Outstanding. The school’s most telling academic metric is its Key Stage 2 combined reading, writing and maths at the expected standard: 63% of pupils achieved this, which sits just above the County Durham local authority average of 62%. That places Toft Hill 91st out of 170 primary schools in the county, putting it in the top half locally. The school also scores well on individual subjects: 81% of pupils reached the expected standard in both maths and writing, and 74% did so in reading. At the higher standard, reading stands out with 41% of pupils achieving it, compared with 26% in maths and 15% in writing. The average scaled scores of 105 in maths and 106 in reading are solid, suggesting the school is delivering consistent, above-average outcomes for its pupils.
