About Pallister Park Primary School

Pallister Park Primary School sits well below the Middlesbrough local authority average for Key Stage 2 outcomes, with just 47% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined against a borough average of 62%. That 15-point gap places the school 32nd out of 41 primary schools in the area, firmly in the bottom half of the league table. The picture is starker still at the top end: only 4% of pupils achieved the higher standard in all three subjects, and the school ranks in the bottom 50% nationally on this measure. These figures reflect a context of significant disadvantage — 68.2% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, more than three times the national average — and the school’s most recent graded inspection in 2019 rated it Good overall, a downgrade from its previous Outstanding rating in 2013.
