Middlesbrough, TS5 8NU · Middlesbrough · primary school

Ofsted: Good · 2026 Inspected this year Mixed Primary
7.0/10 Above average

8th of 40 primary schools in Middlesbrough we can score, 41 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 — 8.6/10 against 3,545 of them, against 7.9/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 72.0 · 71 40% 2.83

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, 72.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. 21.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in May 2026. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (8.6 out of 10 against similar schools, 7.9 out of 10 against all schools).

Beyond the classroom. Pupils join sewing, crochet, chess, gardening, and coding clubs, alongside football, cricket, netball, and athletics. Both breakfast and after-school clubs are available.

Getting in. The school has 450 pupils in a building with 420 places, meaning it is over capacity by 30. The school is over its stated capacity, so places are competitive.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the daily logistics of being 30 pupils over capacity? What specific support is available for the 21.0% of pupils who reached the higher standard? How are the breakfast and after-school clubs structured to support families?
