Check the area around this school
26th 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.
Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 5.6/10 against 2,810 of them, against 5.0/10 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 | 67.0 · 57 | 40% | 2.28 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 5.0 · 40 | 25% | 1.00 |
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 Saltburn Primary School
Overview
Saltburn Primary School continues to be a good school, where pupils are proud and demonstrate positive attitudes towards learning. Leaders maintain high expectations, fostering a calm and focused environment where pupils feel safe and supported. The curriculum is generally well-planned, particularly in early years and mathematics, preparing pupils effectively for their next steps.
Strengths
- Pupils exhibit "focused and calm" behaviour, adhering to well-understood ‘Saltburn Standards’ and reporting that bullying is rare.
- The reading curriculum begins with a "clearly structured phonics scheme," with teachers demonstrating strong knowledge of early reading skills.
- Mathematics is "clearly planned" with regular revisits to learning, helping pupils remember knowledge over time and speak with confidence.
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities receive appropriate resources and support to learn alongside their peers.
- Leaders prioritise personal development, ensuring pupils are knowledgeable about equality, democracy, and mental well-being.
Areas to improve
- In some subjects, such as art, the curriculum is not taught consistently well because important knowledge and skills are not "as precisely set out."
- Some adults do not use a "consistent approach" to support pupils in applying phonic knowledge when reading to them.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with timely support, clear procedures, and vigilant staff ensuring pupils feel safe and know how to stay safe in the community and online.
