Berwick Hills Primary School
Middlesbrough, TS3 7QH · Middlesbrough · primary school
36th of 40 primary schools in Middlesbrough we can score, 41 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 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 2.4/10 against 213 of them, against 1.4/10 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 | 40.0 · 8 | 40% | 0.33 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 2.0 · 24 | 25% | 0.60 |
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, 40.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 2.0% reached the higher standard. The school was rated Good by Ofsted in January 2024. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (2.4 out of 10 against similar schools, 1.4 out of 10 against all schools).
Getting in. The school has 321 pupils in a building with 315 places, meaning it is over capacity by 6. The school is over its stated capacity, so places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the waitlist given it is currently over capacity? What specific support is available for pupils who have not yet reached the expected standard in literacy? How does the school maintain its Good rating while addressing the gap between its results and the national median?
