About Galley Hill Primary School

Galley Hill Primary School’s key stage 2 results place it a clear step above the Redcar and Cleveland average. While the local authority average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined is 65%, Galley Hill achieves 70%. That five-point gap might sound modest, but it lifts the school to 17th out of 41 primaries in the borough, or just inside the top half. Its ranking score of 70 puts it in the top 50 nationally for this metric, though it trails the very top performers in the area like Badger Hill Academy and Newcomen Primary School. The school is also oversubscribed: for 30 places in the 2025/26 intake, it received 53 applications, with 33 first-preference requests. That ratio of 1.77 applicants per place suggests local parents see it as a solid, reliable choice rather than a gamble.
