About Hexham Middle School

Hexham Middle School holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained since its last graded inspection in 2016. The school's most recent ungraded inspection in April 2024 confirmed it remains Good, with leadership and management also rated Good. This is a notable improvement from its previous graded inspection in 2014, when the school was judged to require improvement. For a middle school catering to Years 5 to 8, the most telling academic metric is Progress 8, which measures how much pupils improve between the end of primary school and the end of Key Stage 4. Hexham Middle School's Progress 8 score is not individually published in this data, but the local authority average for all schools in Northumberland is -0.22, meaning pupils across the area typically make slightly less progress than the national average. The school's Good rating suggests it is performing above that local baseline.
