About Ingleby Mill Primary School

Ingleby Mill Primary School sits comfortably above the local authority average for Stockton-on-Tees when it comes to Key Stage 2 outcomes. The LA average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined is 66%, but at Ingleby Mill that figure rises to 77%. That gap of 11 percentage points is a meaningful one, and it places the school 18th out of 55 primaries in the borough, putting it in the top third locally. In the North East region it ranks 111th out of 677, and nationally it sits in the 16th percentile. So while it’s not at the very top of the table, it’s performing noticeably better than the typical Stockton primary, and the data suggests a solid, above-average school that’s delivering results for its pupils.

Digging into the 2023/24 SATs results, the picture is consistently strong. In reading, 88% of pupils met the expected standard and 38% reached the higher standard, with an average score of 107. In maths, 86% met the expected standard and 40% hit the higher mark, again with an average score of 107. Writing saw 83% at expected and 19% at the higher level. The combined expected figure of 77% is well above the LA average of 66%, and the 15% achieving the higher standard across all three subjects is respectable. The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection, an ungraded visit in June 2023, confirmed it remains Good, and its previous graded inspection in December 2012 also rated it Good across leadership, management, early years provision and overall effectiveness. There’s no evidence of a decline here — just a steady, well-run school.

Ingleby Mill is a larger-than-average primary with 504 pupils against a capacity of 600, and it has nursery provision for children from age three.

This is a school that suits families looking for strong academic outcomes in a well-equipped, inclusive setting that’s clearly popular locally.
