About Ward Jackson Church of England Primary School

Ward Jackson Church of England Primary School’s headline Key Stage 2 results sit well below the Hartlepool local authority average, which is a significant point for parents to weigh up. In the 2023/24 academic year, just 38% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a local authority average of 68%. That places the school 26th out of 26 primary schools in Hartlepool, putting it at the very bottom of the LA rankings. The school’s ranking score of 38 places it in the bottom 50 nationally, and its percentile position of 92.6% nationally means only a small fraction of schools performed worse. For context, the nearest outstanding school, Stranton Primary, is just half a kilometre away, and the LA has only two outstanding primaries overall. Ward Jackson’s own Ofsted rating is Good, which it achieved in its 2019 inspection, having previously been rated Requires Improvement in 2016.
