About Corbridge Middle School

Corbridge Middle School stands out sharply against the Northumberland average for secondary schools. While the local authority’s average Progress 8 score sits at -0.22, Corbridge itself has no published Progress 8 figure in its data, but its Ofsted rating tells a different story entirely. The school is one of only two schools in the entire local authority of 27 secondary schools to hold an Outstanding rating from Ofsted, placing it in a very small minority. That rating was awarded in October 2021, and it represents a clear improvement from the school’s previous inspection in 2015, when it was rated Good. Every single category inspected in 2021 — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership and management — was judged Outstanding. For a middle school serving just 354 pupils aged 9 to 13, that consistency across all areas is notable, especially in a local authority where the typical secondary school is performing below the national average on progress.
