Check the area around this school
25th 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 — 7.4/10 against 388 of them, against 5.2/10 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 | 75.0 · 78 | 40% | 3.11 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 0.0 · 10 | 25% | 0.26 |
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 Green Gates Primary School
Overview
Green Gates Primary School is described as a place where pupils feel safe, valued, and eager to learn. The report highlights a "calm and orderly" atmosphere with "Outstanding" behaviour and personal development, driven by staff who are "enthusiastic and committed." While the curriculum is generally well-sequenced, there are specific gaps in how certain foundational knowledge is embedded in younger pupils’ long-term memories.
Strengths
- Pupils exhibit "Outstanding" behaviour and attitudes, with bullying being "extremely rare" and staff building "strong personal relationships."
- Personal development is "Outstanding," supported by an "impressive range of wider experiences" such as trips and visits from experts.
- The teaching of early reading is effective, with a "logically sequenced" phonics curriculum ensuring pupils can blend sounds to make words.
- Staff provide excellent support for vulnerable pupils and those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), ensuring they "do not get left behind."
- Subject leaders are well-trained and support teachers effectively, enabling pupils to use "subject-specific vocabulary" appropriately in tasks.
Areas to improve
- The curriculum, particularly in early years and Key Stage 1, does not always emphasise the "must-have" knowledge pupils need to embed in their long-term memories.
- Younger pupils struggle with writing simple words and number formation due to insufficient practice, impacting the quality of writing for some pupils, especially those with SEND.
- In a small number of subjects, such as geography, pupils struggle to recall crucial subject-specific knowledge long term.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with the designated safeguarding leader putting pupils’ safety at the forefront and forging "strong relationships with all parents" to provide appropriate support.
