All the current Ofsted ratings for Sunderland primary schools as children return to classes

Whilst any schools inspected in the last academic year (2024/25) were not given an overall one word judgement they were given a report card with ratings for the key criteria of quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and Early Years provision.

Schools inspected before the last academic year were given an overall judgement.

Check out the latest Ofsted ratings and report cards for all the city’s primary schools as pupils return after the six weeks holidays.
