Pennyman Primary Academy

About Pennyman Primary Academy

Pennyman Primary Academy sits within Middlesbrough local authority, where it ranks 23rd out of 37 primary schools on the key stage 2 expected standard measure. That places it in the bottom half of schools locally, though the picture is more nuanced than a single rank suggests. The top-performing peers in the area are St Bernadette's Catholic Primary School, Lingfield Primary School and Beech Grove Primary School, all of which score higher on the same metric. Pennyman is a state-funded, mixed primary for children aged 2 to 11, with no religious character. It is led by headteacher Joanne Stuart and currently has 401 pupils on roll, just shy of its capacity of 440. The school serves a community with high levels of disadvantage: 69.2 per cent of pupils are eligible for free school meals, well above the national average. Despite this, the school has held a Good rating from Ofsted since its last graded inspection in 2017, and an ungraded inspection in 2023 confirmed it remains Good.
