Durham Lane Primary School

School overview

Durham Lane Primary School is a primary school serving Stockton-on-Tees, classified by the DfE as a community school. It has 229 pupils aged 3 to 11 on roll. In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 80% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — well above the national average of 61%. That is down 3.0 percentage points in the proportion reaching the expected standard on the previous year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it among the top 10% of primary schools in England.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 108 in reading and 105 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 17% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). Durham Lane Primary School was not oversubscribed for September 2026: all 22 families who put it first were offered a place. Overall pupil absence was 4.7%. There are about 22.8 pupils per teacher. Durham Lane Primary School does not currently have a recent graded Ofsted judgement on record (often the case for newer or recently converted schools), so it is worth asking when its next inspection is expected.
