Ofsted: Good · 2023 Inspected 3 years ago Mixed Primary Church of England
5.4/10 Broadly average

30th 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 3,689 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.8/10 among them, against 5.5/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

MeasurePercentileWeightAdds
Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 62.0 · 44 40% 1.74
Ofsted 52 35% 1.81
Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 12.0 · 74 25% 1.85

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, 62.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 12.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in May 2023. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.8 out of 10 among them, against 5.5 out of 10 nationally.

Getting in. The school has 451 pupils in a building with 540 places, leaving 89 spare spots. This means there is real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than the school is built for.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who are below the expected standard in maths? What does a typical day look like for a child in a class smaller than the building’s capacity? How does the school maintain its Good rating following the 2023 inspection?
