Ofsted: Good · 2024 Inspected 2 years ago Mixed Primary
5.3/10 Broadly average

24th 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 the 4,299 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 4.9/10 among them, against 5.4/10 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, 62.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 11.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in March 2024. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 4.9 out of 10 among them, against 5.4 out of 10 nationally.

Beyond the classroom. The school provides both a breakfast club and an after-school club for pupils.

Getting in. There are 463 pupils in a school with 412 places, meaning it is over capacity by 51. The school is over its stated capacity, so places are competitive.

Worth asking on a visit. With the school 51 places over capacity, how does the admissions process handle new applications? Since the results for similar-intake schools show a lower score than the national average, what specific strategies are used to support pupil progress? How do the breakfast and after-school clubs operate during term time?
