About Dormanstown Primary Academy

Dormanstown Primary Academy’s headline metrics present a mixed picture when set against the Redcar and Cleveland local authority average for primary schools. The school’s Key Stage 2 combined reading, writing and maths expected standard score sits at 50%, which is 15 percentage points below the LA average of 65%. That gap is significant and places the school 35th out of 44 primaries in the borough, firmly in the bottom half. However, the story isn’t entirely one of underperformance. The school’s average scaled scores in reading and maths both hit 105, which is exactly the national benchmark and suggests that pupils who do reach the expected standard are doing so with solid, not marginal, results. The real challenge appears to be in getting a higher proportion of children over that threshold in the first place, particularly in writing, where only 59% met the expected standard, and in maths, where 65% did. The school also has a very high proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals at 67.4%, which is an important context for understanding these outcomes.
