Lingdale Primary School

Ofsted: Requires improvement · 2023 Inspected 2 years ago Mixed Primary
4.9/10 Broadly average

27th 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 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 9.4/10 against 137 of them, against 7.3/10 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, 71.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 14.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school "Requires improvement" in November 2023. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (9.4 out of 10 against similar schools, 7.3 out of 10 against all schools).

Beyond the classroom. Pupils join the School Council and participate in hula hooping, dancing, swimming, and arts and craft. A breakfast club is available, but there is no after-school club.

Getting in. The school has 95 pupils in a building with 129 places, leaving 34 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 do not reach the higher standard in maths? What specific actions are being taken to address the "Requires improvement" rating from the 2023 inspection? How does the absence of an after-school club affect families who need care beyond the school day?
