Harrow Gate Academy
Stockton-on-Tees, TS19 8DE · Stockton-on-Tees · primary school
39th 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.
Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 5.8/10 against 620 of them, against 3.7/10 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 | 58.0 · 35 | 40% | 1.39 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 5.0 · 40 | 25% | 1.00 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. In 2024/25, 58.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 5.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in July 2024. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (5.8 out of 10 against similar schools, 3.7 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join Urban Kaos dance, Outdoor and Adventurous, Cookery, Choir, STEM car building, Tag Rugby, Eco Club, Art, and Craft clubs. Sports include Athletics, Football, Hockey, and Netball. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 419 pupils in a capacity of 420, leaving just 1 spare place. This means the school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. With only 1 place remaining, how does the school manage waitlists for new starters? Since there is no breakfast club, what options exist for early morning care? How does the school support pupils who are below the expected standard in core subjects?
