Check the area around this school
17th 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 — 7.3/10 against 2,630 of them, against 6.4/10 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 | 74.0 · 76 | 40% | 3.02 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 6.0 · 45 | 25% | 1.12 |
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 Coatham Church of England Primary School
Overview
Coatham Church of England Primary School continues to be a good school, where leaders are committed to preparing pupils for their future. The report highlights an inclusive community where pupils thrive, grow in confidence, and feel happy and safe. Leaders have created a clear vision, ensuring high expectations for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities.
Strengths
- Leaders have designed a curriculum that reflects the local environment, allowing pupils to build on existing knowledge using tools like ‘sticky knowledge mats’.
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities are well supported to access the curriculum alongside peers, helping them achieve their potential and build independence.
- Reading is a clear priority, with staff regularly listening to pupils read and older pupils reading independently every day.
- Pupils behave well, treat each other kindly, and understand how to report bullying, trusting adults to act quickly and seriously.
- Staff feel well supported by leaders, and parents appreciate the work of the school leadership.
Areas to improve
- Staff do not currently deliver the new phonics scheme with the same level of expertise, meaning some pupils do not make progress as quickly as others; ongoing training is required.
- In some lessons, activities do not ensure pupils are fully focused on the key knowledge leaders want them to learn, causing some difficulty in explaining learning or remembering key information.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with staff receiving appropriate training, knowing how to report concerns, and leaders working persistently with external agencies to support vulnerable pupils.
