About St Benedict's Catholic Primary School

St Benedict's Catholic Primary School in Redcar and Cleveland was rated Good in its most recent graded Ofsted inspection in 2018, and a subsequent ungraded inspection in 2023 confirmed it remains Good and is improving. The school’s strongest academic metric is its Key Stage 2 performance in reading, writing and maths combined: 76% of pupils met the expected standard in all three subjects in the 2023/24 academic year. That is well above the local authority average of 65% for the same measure, and places the school 12th out of 41 primary schools in Redcar and Cleveland.
