About Linthorpe Community Primary School

Linthorpe Community Primary School sits in Middlesbrough, a local authority where only two of 41 primary schools currently hold an Outstanding Ofsted rating. Linthorpe is one of them. It ranks 4th out of 37 primary schools in the borough on the key stage 2 expected standard measure, placing it in the top 11% locally. The three schools above it in the Middlesbrough rankings are St Bernadette's Catholic Primary, Lingfield Primary and Beech Grove Primary, each of which scored higher on the same metric. With 731 pupils on a capacity of 705, Linthorpe is a large primary that also offers nursery provision for children from age two. The school is led by headteacher Grace Mitchell and has no religious character. Its most recent Ofsted inspection, carried out in March 2024, awarded the top grade across every category: overall effectiveness, quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, early years provision, and leadership and management. That is a clean sweep of Outstanding ratings.
