22nd of 43 primary schools in Redcar and Cleveland we can score, 44 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 — 7.9/10 against 138 of them, against 5.7/10 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 | 64.0 · 49 | 40% | 1.97 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 11.0 · 71 | 25% | 1.77 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

What Ofsted said about Caedmon Primary School
Overview
Caedmon Primary School is described as a welcoming environment where pupils thrive and enjoy coming to school. The report highlights that leaders are ambitious for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), and that staff build respectful relationships. The school has made significant, well-considered changes to the curriculum, which is carefully sequenced to build knowledge over time.
Strengths
- Pupils’ personal development is "exceptional," supported by a "rich set of experiences" including theatre visits, sports competitions, and musical opportunities.
- Staff use "expert knowledge of behaviour strategies and calming techniques" to help pupils manage strong emotions, resulting in good behaviour and resilience.
- The curriculum is "carefully sequenced" with an emphasis on spoken language, helping older pupils to "discuss and debate important issues."
- Reading is fostered effectively through daily story time, author visits, and a phonics scheme with "effective checking procedures" to identify and support gaps in knowledge.
- Pupils with SEND are supported effectively, with needs "identified and assessed accurately" and individual plans enabling them to access the full curriculum alongside peers.
Areas to improve
- In mathematics, some pupils struggle to remember taught vocabulary, making it difficult to explain complex concepts; the school must ensure pupils retain this vocabulary.
- Despite improvements, some pupils still miss too much school; the school should continue working with families to improve attendance so pupils benefit from the education provided.
Safeguarding
The report states that "the arrangements for safeguarding are effective."
