School Performance

Ofsted

Ofsted is the Office for Standards in Education, Children’s Services and Skills. Ofsted regulate and inspect schools and colleges to seek improvement in the service. They carry out large number of inspections and regulatory visits in England and publish their finding on their website. We were last inspected in February 2023 and received a rating of GOOD.  Inspection of Ofsted-rated GOOD schools usually takes place every four years.

Department for Education

Many Parents are keen to see how we are performing in relation to other schools.

The Department for Education (DfE) Performance Tables provide a reliable and accessible source of comparative information on pupil attainment and progress, absence, workforce and finance. The Performance Tables include percentages of achievement at expected standards or above in reading, writing and maths and the measure of progress in each subject. You can find the School Performance Tables from the DfE by clicking the link below.

Childcare Provision

West Rainton Primary School offer childcare provision and wraparound care.  Full details of the provision provided can be found on our Childcare Provision section of our website.

Pupil and Parent Surveys

We routinely take short snapshot views of pupils and parents through online survey forms and for a range of reasons. Our most recent exit surveys for pupils and parents leaving us in Y6 of 2022 were overwhelmingly positive about safeguarding, behaviour, personal development and curriculum provision.

 

The government will not publish KS2 school level data for the 2021 to 2022 academic year. They have archived data from the 2018 to 2019 academic year because they recognise that the data from that year may no longer reflect current performance.

Key Stage 2 SAT Results 2019

Key Stage 1 SAT Results 2019

Pupils performed very well in 2022 assessments, despite the disruption to education over the previous two years.

In Year 2 phonics screening check resits 5/7 children (71%) reached the required pass mark

Swimming Data 2022

At West Rainton Primary School we take school swimming seriously. We introduced the ASA school swimming awards in 2015-16 as a way of tracking and accelerating progress in swimming, leading to 90% of Y6 pupils leaving at the required standard (an increase of 34% since introducing the scheme) in 2019.

Swimming progress was halted in 2020, as from spring term 2020 until the spring of 2021 no classes were able to attend the pool due to covid restrictions. We used some of our PE and Sports Premium funding to provide top-up swimming lessons to our oldest pupils in 2021-22. Pupils in our current years 5 and 6, are still impacted by the gap in provision, but we will do everything possible to meet end of Y6 expected standards, including funding additional lessons.
