Bewley Primary School

Billingham, TS23 3LH · Stockton-on-Tees · primary school

Ofsted: Good · 2024 Inspected 2 years ago Mixed Primary
5.9/10 Broadly average

24th 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 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 7.2/10 against 2,666 of them, against 6.2/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 68.0 · 60 40% 2.41
Ofsted 52 35% 1.81
Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 10.0 · 66 25% 1.65

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, 68.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 10.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in April 2024. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (7.2 out of 10 against similar schools, 6.2 out of 10 against all schools).

Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join the Razzamataz club, play boys' or girls' football, participate in multi-sports, or attend the art after-school club. The school also provides both a breakfast club and an after-school club.

Getting in. There are 379 pupils in a school with 420 places, leaving 41 spare places. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who do not reach the higher standard in maths? What specific activities take place during the Razzamataz club sessions? How does the school manage the transition for children moving from the breakfast club into the main school day?
