Stockton-on-Tees, TS17 9DE · Stockton-on-Tees · secondary school
12th of 13 secondary schools in Stockton-on-Tees we can score. 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 — 4.6/10 against 497 of them, against 2.6/10 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ofsted | 17 | 35% | 0.60 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 30.7 · 19 | 30% | 0.56 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | -0.18 · 36 | 25% | 0.91 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 40.3 · 22 | 10% | 0.22 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

How it's doing. In 2024/25, 30.7% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 40.3, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was -0.18 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did worse than those nationally who started from the same place. Ofsted rated the school Good in January 2026. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (4.6 out of 10 against similar schools, 2.6 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join the Duke of Edinburgh award, go ice skating, and attend trips including a BAE Systems roadshow, a STEM event at HOPETOWN, Darlington, and a Life centre visit for Year 7.
Getting in. The school has 550 pupils in a capacity of 556 places, leaving 6 spare spots. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who start below the national median in attainment? What specific support is available for students aiming to improve their Progress 8 scores? How does the college manage the competitive nature of admissions with only 6 places remaining?
