About Greenfield Academy

Greenfield Academy, a mixed state secondary in County Durham for pupils aged 11 to 16, was rated Requires Improvement in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2019, a rating it has held across both its recent inspections. The most telling academic metric is its Progress 8 score of -0.5, which places the school in the bottom 50 nationally and ranks it 28th out of 31 secondary schools in the local authority. This score means that, on average, pupils achieve half a grade less per subject across eight GCSEs than students with similar starting points nationally. The school’s Attainment 8 score sits at 37.7, and just 22.1 per cent of pupils achieved a grade 5 or above in English and maths. While the overall picture is challenging, the Ofsted report noted that behaviour and attitudes, as well as personal development, were rated Good, suggesting that the school provides a stable and supportive environment even as academic outcomes lag.
