About Shotley Bridge Primary School

Shotley Bridge Primary School is a primary school in Consett, County Durham, classified by the DfE as a community school. Around 347 pupils aged 2 to 11 attend the school.

That is down 7.0 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 around the middle of primary schools nationally.

Shotley Bridge Primary School was not oversubscribed for September 2026: all 33 families who put it first were offered a place. Overall pupil absence was 4.2%. There are about 16.4 pupils per teacher. Its intake is relatively advantaged, with around 11% of pupils eligible for free school meals in the last six years versus about 24% nationally. Shotley Bridge 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.
