About schools in Stockton-on-Tees
- How many schools are there in Stockton-on-Tees?
- Stockton-on-Tees has 86 open schools — 61 primary, 14 secondary, 4 special, teaching 32,040 pupils in total.
- How many schools in Stockton-on-Tees are rated Good or Outstanding?
- 66 of the 68 schools holding an Ofsted grade — 97% — are rated Good or Outstanding, including 8 rated Outstanding. That share is measured against graded schools, not all 86: a school inspected since September 2024 has no overall grade at all.
- What is the average Academic Performance in Stockton-on-Tees?
- 5.6 out of 10, averaged across the 78 schools here that can be scored, where 5 is the national average. Academic Performance combines the Ofsted judgement with DfE attainment and is ranked against comparable schools, so it is neither figure on its own.
- Why do some Stockton-on-Tees schools have no Ofsted rating?
- 18 schools in Stockton-on-Tees currently hold no overall grade. Ofsted stopped awarding single-word judgements in September 2024 and moved to a report card of separately graded areas, so schools inspected since then have no overall rating whatever the inspection found. Their profiles show the report card instead.
- What does Stockton-on-Tees local authority do?
- A local authority is the body responsible for state education in its area — the level most admissions and school-place decisions are made at. Stockton-on-Tees covers 86 schools and sits in the North East region. It does not run academies or independent schools directly, though it still coordinates admissions for most of them.
- How many pupils in Stockton-on-Tees are eligible for free school meals?
- 29.1% — 8,738 of 30,072 pupils at the 75 schools that report it. Independent schools file a return with roll and sex only, so they are outside this figure rather than counted as zero.
