About Kelloe Primary School

Kelloe Primary School is a primary school in Kelloe, County Durham, classified by the DfE as a converter academy. Around 139 pupils aged 3 to 11 attend the school. In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 76% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — well above the national average of 61%. That marks an improvement of 6.0 percentage points in the proportion reaching the expected standard on the previous year, though small year groups can make these figures swing sharply from year to year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the top 25% of primary schools nationally.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 107 in reading and 106 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 10% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). Kelloe Primary School was not oversubscribed for September 2026: all 13 families who put it first were offered a place. There are about 24.4 pupils per teacher. The school serves a community with above-average levels of disadvantage: about 42% of pupils have been eligible for free school meals in the last six years, compared with roughly 24% nationally — useful context when reading the results above. Kelloe 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. This overview is generated automatically from the latest published DfE performance tables and Ofsted data; figures are rounded, and you can check the originals via the official links above.
