About St Bede's Catholic Academy

St Bede’s Catholic Academy in Stockton-on-Tees was rated Good in its most recent graded Ofsted inspection, a clear improvement from its previous rating of Requires Improvement. The school has held onto that Good rating through a subsequent ungraded inspection in 2021, which confirmed it remains Good. The most telling exam metric for this primary school is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — 70% of its Year 6 cohort hit that benchmark in the 2023/24 academic year. That figure sits above the Stockton-on-Tees local authority average of 66%, placing St Bede’s 23rd out of 55 primary schools in the area, comfortably in the top half. Given that over half of its pupils (54.9%) are eligible for free school meals, this is a solid academic outcome that suggests the school is doing well by its intake.
