About Huntcliff School

Huntcliff School, a mixed secondary in Redcar and Cleveland, holds a Good rating from Ofsted, but its most recent exam data tells a more complicated story. The school’s Progress 8 score, which measures how much pupils improve between the end of primary school and their GCSEs, stands at -0.64. This means that, on average, students achieved nearly two-thirds of a grade less per subject than their peers nationally with similar starting points. The Department for Education categorises this as “well below average,” and it places Huntcliff 7th out of 9 secondary schools in the local authority. For context, the average Progress 8 score across Redcar and Cleveland is -0.23, so Huntcliff’s result sits significantly below the local norm. The school’s Attainment 8 score, which reflects overall GCSE performance, is 34.1 out of a possible 90, and only 38% of pupils achieved a grade 5 or above in both English and maths.
