Lingfield Primary School
Middlesbrough, TS7 8LP · Middlesbrough · primary school
5th 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.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 9.7/10 against 4,085 of them, against 9.4/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. 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 | 89.0 · 97 | 40% | 3.88 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 19.0 · 90 | 25% | 2.26 |
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, 89.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 19.0%. Ofsted rated the school Good in March 2023. Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so they are not simply a reflection of who attends (9.7 out of 10 against similar schools, 9.4 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils access gymnastics, swimming, dance, climbing, abseiling, kayaking, and canoeing, alongside trips to a residential site, Hollywood Bowl, Pizza Hut, and Hall Hill Farm.
Getting in. The school has 228 pupils in a capacity of 205, meaning it is over capacity by 23. Consequently, places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the daily logistics for 23 pupils over capacity? What support is available for children who do not reach the higher standard? How are the extensive outdoor activities scheduled within the timetable?
