Check the area around this school
20th 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 — 6.7/10 against 2,762 of them, against 5.9/10 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 | 12.0 · 74 | 25% | 1.85 |
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 Errington Primary School
Overview
Errington Primary School continues to be a good school, offering a "warm and welcoming environment" where pupils are "polite and respectful." Leaders have successfully improved the curriculum since September 2021, ensuring that learning in key stages 1 and 2 builds effectively on early years foundations. Most pupils achieve well and are prepared for secondary school, supported by a culture that encourages curiosity and kindness.
Strengths
- Pupils demonstrate high standards of behaviour, with bullying being "rare" and children showing confidence in adults to resolve incidents.
- There is a "consistent approach to the teaching of phonics," with pupils reading with "increasing speed and accuracy" and enjoying regular library use.
- Teachers understand the needs of pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) well, providing effective adaptations and bespoke support.
- The curriculum includes valuable enrichment opportunities, such as "forest school provision" and cross-curricular links, which extend beyond national requirements.
- Children in the early years make a "positive start," benefiting from clear short-term goals and a rich outdoor learning environment.
Areas to improve
- In some subjects, the most important knowledge is not identified or broken down into "clear, small steps," meaning teachers are not consistently clear about what pupils need to understand.
- Leaders should ensure long-term curriculum aims are broken down so that the specific steps pupils need to secure are clearly understood by teachers in all subjects.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with adults reporting concerns promptly and leaders keeping detailed records of appropriate and timely actions.
