25th 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 2,369 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 4.1/10 among them, against 6.2/10 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 | 77.0 · 82 | 40% | 3.28 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 3.0 · 29 | 25% | 0.73 |
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 Myton Park Primary School
Overview
Myton Park Primary School has improved rapidly following the appointment of a new headteacher, who identified that educational quality had declined since the previous inspection. The school now delivers an “ambitious curriculum” that is taught well in most areas, fostering a culture where pupils are “happy and safe” and eager to learn. While overall effectiveness is judged as Good, the early years provision requires improvement due to ineffective activity choices.
Strengths
- Leaders have implemented a “well-considered action plan” resulting in rapid improvement and an “ambitious curriculum” for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).
- Pupils demonstrate positive attitudes, with bullying being rare and an atmosphere of “mutual respect” permeating the school.
- Reading is prioritised with a “consistent approach to the teaching of phonics,” ensuring pupils become “confident and fluent readers.”
- Staff feel “appreciated” and are united behind the school’s vision, while governors are “knowledgeable and well-informed.”
- Pupils have extensive opportunities for personal development, such as leadership roles and charity events, preparing them for “life in modern Britain.”
Areas to improve
- Activities in the early years foundation stage sometimes “lack purpose,” leaving children unclear about independent tasks and missing opportunities to embed new knowledge.
- The curriculum does not always enable pupils to “deepen their understanding” or make connections across subjects, limiting the development of a “deep body of knowledge.”
Safeguarding
The report states that “the arrangements for safeguarding are effective.”
