About Layfield Primary School

Layfield Primary School holds a Good rating from its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023, a grade it has maintained since its previous inspection in 2018. The most telling academic metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined at Key Stage 2, which stands at 65%. That figure is almost exactly in line with the Stockton-on-Tees local authority average of 66%, placing Layfield 30th out of 55 primary schools in the borough. The school’s ranking score of 65 puts it in the top 50 nationally for this measure, though it sits behind local peers such as Wolviston Primary School and Egglescliffe Church of England Primary School. Within the North East region, Layfield ranks 316th out of 677 primary schools, a solid mid-table position. The school’s early years provision was singled out as Outstanding in the 2023 inspection, while behaviour, personal development and leadership were all rated Good.
