About Preston Primary School

Preston Primary School is a state-funded, mixed-gender primary school in Stockton-on-Tees, serving children aged 3 to 11. In the local authority’s primary school rankings, it sits 9th out of 55 schools, placing it comfortably in the top 10. Its nearest high-performing peers include Wolviston Primary School, Egglescliffe Church of England Primary School, and St Francis of Assisi Church of England Primary School, all of which rank above it on the same metric. The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection, an ungraded visit in March 2024, confirmed it remains Good with an improving trajectory. Notably, leadership and management were judged Outstanding, while early years provision was rated Good. This marks a continuation of the Good rating it has held since at least its previous graded inspection in 2017, and the school has clearly maintained strong leadership throughout that period.
