Barley Fields Primary
Stockton-on-Tees, TS17 0QP · Stockton-on-Tees · primary school
11th of 54 primary schools in Stockton-on-Tees we can score, 60 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to the 2,728 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 5.1/10 among them, against 6.8/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 69.0 · 63 | 40% | 2.51 |
| Ofsted | 91 | 35% | 3.18 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 13.0 · 78 | 25% | 1.94 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. In 2024/25, 69.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 13.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in November 2025. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 5.1 out of 10 among them, against 6.8 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join Home Learning Club, Shooting Stars Netball Academy, TASC Football, Dance Fuzion, or Live it Get Active. Trips include Ullswater Outdoor Adventure and PGL Newby Whisk. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 683 pupils in a capacity of 706, leaving 23 spare places. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who arrive without a morning routine, given the lack of a breakfast club? What specific steps are taken to raise the proportion of pupils reaching the higher standard? How does the school manage the competitive nature of admissions for the remaining 23 places?
