Wingate Primary School
About Wingate Primary School
Wingate Primary School in County Durham holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a solid foundation for any family weighing up their options. The most telling academic metric available is the school's Key Stage 2 performance, which sits against a local authority average of 62. While Wingate's exact KS2 score isn't provided in the data, the context is useful: across County Durham's 208 primary schools, only eight have achieved an Outstanding rating, meaning a Good judgement here places the school in a strong, reliable tier. The headteacher, Marie-Louise Binks, leads a mixed, non-denominational state primary for children aged 5 to 11, with capacity for 420 pupils. Given the limited number of Outstanding primaries in the area, Wingate's consistent Good rating is a practical, reassuring signal for parents who want a school that meets the national standard without necessarily chasing the top-tier label.
