Middlesbrough, TS2 1SY · Stockton-on-Tees · primary school

Ofsted: Requires improvement · 2022 Inspected 3 years ago Mixed Primary
0.8/10 Well below average

53rd 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 — 1.6/10 against 222 of them, against 1.1/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

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, 43.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 0.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school "Requires improvement" in November 2022. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (1.6 out of 10 against similar schools, 1.1 out of 10 against all schools).

Beyond the classroom. Pupils participate in the Virtual School Games and can attend an after-school club.

Getting in. The school has 87 pupils in a capacity of 105 places, leaving 18 spare places. This means the school has real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than it is built for.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who are below the expected standard in core subjects? What specific strategies are used to raise attainment in reading and maths? How does the after-school club support pupils' learning and social development?
