About Harrow Gate Academy

Harrow Gate Academy’s headline Key Stage 2 results sit noticeably below the Stockton-on-Tees average for primary schools. The proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined is 51%, compared with a local authority average of 66%. That 15-point gap places the school 43rd out of 55 primaries in the borough, in the bottom half regionally and nationally. However, the picture is more nuanced when you look at individual subjects. Reading and maths average scores are 105 and 103 respectively, which are broadly in line with national benchmarks, and 65% of pupils met the expected standard in reading. The real drag comes from writing, where only 61% reached the expected level, and from the very low proportion hitting the higher standard across all three subjects — just 2%. So while the school is not struggling across the board, its combined headline figure is held back by uneven performance in writing.
