About Bowesfield Primary School

Bowesfield Primary School sits in Stockton-on-Tees, a local authority where it ranks 49th out of 55 primary schools on its combined Key Stage 2 reading, writing and maths results. That places it in the bottom half of schools locally, well behind the top-performing peers in the area. The three highest-ranked primaries in the borough are Wolviston Primary School, Egglescliffe Church of England Primary School, and St Francis of Assisi Church of England Primary School, all of which score considerably higher on the same metric. For context, the nearest school rated Outstanding by Ofsted is St. Patrick's Roman Catholic Primary School, about 1.6 kilometres away. Bowesfield itself was rated Good in its most recent Ofsted inspection in February 2024, a significant improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating in 2021. The school serves a notably high proportion of disadvantaged pupils, with 49.8 per cent eligible for free school meals, well above the national average.
