About West Park Primary School

West Park Primary School in Hartlepool was rated Good in its most recent graded inspection in 2018, and an ungraded inspection in 2024 confirmed the school remains at that standard. The most telling academic metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which sits at 73%. That is five percentage points above the Hartlepool local authority average of 68%, placing the school 11th out of 26 primary schools in the area. This puts West Park in the top 25% of schools nationally for this measure. The school also performs well on the higher standard, with 20% of pupils achieving that level across all three subjects.
