West View Primary School
About West View Primary School
West View Primary School in Hartlepool holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained across its two most recent inspections, including the most recent graded inspection in March 2023. The school’s most telling academic metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined at Key Stage 2, which stands at 51%. This figure sits below the Hartlepool local authority average of 68%, placing the school 24th out of 26 primary schools in the area and in the bottom 50% nationally. In the individual subjects, the strongest result is in writing, where 68% of pupils met the expected standard, compared with 66% in maths and 64% in reading. The average scaled scores for reading and maths are both 102, exactly in line with the national average of 100, suggesting that while many children are making solid progress, fewer are reaching the combined benchmark than their peers in other local schools.
