2nd of 13 secondary schools in Stockton-on-Tees we can score. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to the 605 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 4.0/10 among them, against 7.0/10 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ofsted | 94 | 35% | 3.29 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2025/26 | 60.0 · 81 | 30% | 2.44 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.06 · 55 | 25% | 1.36 |
| Attainment 8 2025/26 | 51.6 · 76 | 10% | 0.76 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
