Rose Wood Academy
Middlesbrough, TS8 0UG · Middlesbrough · primary school
18th 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.
Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 7.1/10 against 2,452 of them, against 6.0/10 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 | 66.0 · 54 | 40% | 2.16 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 11.0 · 71 | 25% | 1.77 |
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, 66.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 11.0%. Ofsted rated the school Good in January 2025. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (7.1 out of 10 against similar schools, 6.0 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join clubs including Gardening, KS2 Choir, Guitar, Young Citizens, Cooking, Top Trumps, and Friendship Club. Sports options cover Multisport, MFC, Football, Cheerleading, and Girls’ Football, alongside Christmas Crafts. Both a breakfast club and an after-school club are available.
Getting in. The school has 364 pupils in a building with 350 places, meaning it is over capacity by 14. This means places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the daily routine with 14 more pupils than its stated capacity? What specific support is available for the 11.0% who reached the higher standard? How are the breakfast and after-school clubs structured to support families?
