About North Shore Academy

North Shore Academy, a mixed 11-16 state secondary in Stockton-on-Tees, posts a Progress 8 score of 0.07, which sits comfortably above the local authority average of -0.11 for secondary schools. That gap of nearly two-tenths of a grade per subject means pupils here, on average, make slightly more academic progress than their peers across Stockton-on-Tees. The school ranks 4th out of 13 secondaries in the borough, placing it in the top third locally, and 41st out of 142 schools in the North East region. This is a school that clearly outperforms the typical LA school in terms of pupil progress, and it does so while serving a significantly disadvantaged intake — 55.5 per cent of its 816 pupils are eligible for free school meals, well above the national average. Headteacher Rob Byrne has overseen a remarkable turnaround since the school's previous Ofsted inspection, when it was rated Requires Improvement. In its most recent graded inspection, every single category — behaviour, personal development, leadership, and overall effectiveness — was judged Outstanding.
