About St Alphonsus' Catholic Primary School

St Alphonsus' Catholic Primary School in Middlesbrough was rated Good overall in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2024, with inspectors awarding Outstanding for both personal development and behaviour and attitudes. That's a strong signal for parents who care about how a school shapes children's character as well as their learning. On the academic front, the most telling metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — 61 per cent. That's almost exactly in line with the Middlesbrough local authority average of 62 per cent, placing the school 20th out of 37 primaries in the area. While the school sits in the bottom half nationally, the picture is more nuanced than a single ranking suggests. In reading and maths individually, 82 per cent of pupils hit the expected standard, and average scaled scores of 106 in both subjects are solid. A quarter of pupils achieved the higher standard in maths, and 29 per cent did so in reading.
