Check the area around this school
5th 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.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 9.7/10 against 3,004 of them, against 9.7/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. 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 | 94.0 · 99 | 41% | 4.08 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 33% | 1.72 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 23.0 · 95 | 26% | 2.44 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

The higher standard was reached by 23.0% of pupils, against a national median of 7%.

What Ofsted said about Egglescliffe Church of England Primary School
Overview
Egglescliffe Church of England Primary School continues to be a good school where pupils thrive in a calm and purposeful environment. Strong relationships between teachers and pupils, alongside high expectations for behaviour, create a setting where bullying is described as “incredibly rare” and all pupils feel safe. Recent leadership changes and trust support have driven rapid improvements, particularly in reading and mathematics, despite the challenges posed by the pandemic.
Strengths
- Teachers have “high expectations of pupils’ behaviour,” resulting in a learning environment without interruptions.
- Reading is a high priority, with staff receiving training to deliver phonics accurately and books matched to pupils’ developing skills.
- The mathematics curriculum builds effectively on prior learning, helping pupils become “skilful mathematicians.”
- Leaders quickly identify the needs of pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities, ensuring they access the same “ambitious curriculum” as their peers.
- Pupils benefit from a wide variety of extra-curricular activities and support for their mental health and well-being.
Areas to improve
- In subjects such as geography, the curriculum does not build with “enough precision” on what pupils already know, and plans are incomplete.
- Assessments in the wider curriculum, including art and design and technology, do not check the full breadth of what pupils have been taught, meaning teachers lack a “full picture” of pupils’ knowledge.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with necessary checks on adults, appropriate staff training, and systems in place to report concerns quickly.
