Check the area around this school
28th 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 the 3,978 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 4.1/10 among them, against 5.6/10 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 | 63.0 · 46 | 40% | 1.85 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 11.0 · 71 | 25% | 1.77 |
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 Kirklevington Primary School
Overview
Kirklevington Primary School continues to be a good school, characterised by an ambitious curriculum and high expectations for behaviour and learning. Leaders have successfully navigated recent instability to implement effective improvements in reading, mathematics, and science, fostering a positive ethos where pupils feel safe and valued.
Strengths
- Pupils display "admirable" behaviour and attitudes, underpinned by well-established values of being "ready, respectful and safe".
- The reading curriculum is a high priority, with staff ensuring books match pupils' known sounds to build "confidence and fluency".
- Mathematics teaching builds effectively on prior knowledge, encouraging pupils to "explain their reasoning" and check mistakes.
- Staff receive "high-quality, subject-specific training", leading to improved subject knowledge and confidence among teachers.
- Pupils benefit from numerous opportunities for personal development, including roles in "pupil parliament" and as "lunchtime buddies".
Areas to improve
- Leaders should ensure that assessment of key knowledge and skills in the recently introduced science curriculum helps teachers understand where pupils need support.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with staff trained to identify pupils needing help and leaders taking suitable action while working with external agencies.
