About schools in Hartlepool

Most of the 47 schools listed in Hartlepool are primary schools. Its five secondary schools are where families compare options once a child finishes primary. Older students can carry on at one sixth form or college.

Every school on this page is inspected by Ofsted. Its newer reports judge a school across several areas rather than giving one overall grade, while older reports still carry the previous single grade, so read the framework and the date on each page before you set two schools side by side. Where results have been published you will also find key stage 2 scores for the primary schools and Attainment 8 for the secondary schools. An inspection or a results table captures a school at one past moment, so use this page to draw up a shortlist and then visit.
