Check the area around this school
30th 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.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 4.4/10 against 2,784 of them, against 4.2/10 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 | 64.0 · 49 | 40% | 1.98 |
| 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.

Overview
New Marske Primary School continues to be a good school, described as a "warm and welcoming" community where pupils feel happy and safe. Leaders maintain high expectations for achievement, ensuring that pupils receive the support they need to succeed and develop a positive attitude towards learning.
Strengths
- The curriculum is ambitious and clearly structured in most subjects, with teachers successfully checking prior knowledge to help pupils build on previous learning.
- Reading is a high priority, with effective phonics teaching and immediate support for pupils who need it, ensuring they keep up with their peers.
- Behaviour is good, with adults dealing with low-level misbehaviour "quickly and effectively" and pupils showing consistent respect for one another.
- Staff work closely together and are supported by leaders who consider their well-being and work–life balance.
- Pupils are taught to overcome challenges and show kindness to those facing difficult times, fostering a supportive school culture.
Areas to improve
- Curriculum plans in some subjects, such as history, do not clearly identify the key knowledge and skills pupils must learn, leaving decisions to individual teachers and hindering the building of prior learning.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with comprehensive staff training and systems in place to identify risks and secure appropriate support for pupils.
