|February 26, 2026
Pupils and staff at a Hartlepool primary school "with love and care at the centre" are celebrating after receiving a glowing Ofsted report.
Ward Jackson Church of England Primary School headteacher, Amy Sparkes, and deputy headteacher, Liam Savage, celebrate their latest Ofsted report with pupils Annie, Fernandez, Vihan, Samira, Hallie-May and Emily.
(FRANK REID)
Ward Jackson Church of England Primary School, in Clark Street, Hartlepool, has recently been inspected under Ofsted's new framework.
One-word overall gradings are no longer given, with schools now being marked against a different set of criteria.
The school was given a “strong standard” in inclusion and personal development and wellbeing, and an “expected standard” in achievement, attendance and behaviour, curriculum and teaching, early years and leadership and governance.
