About St Francis of Assisi Church of England Primary School

St Francis of Assisi Church of England Primary School sits in Stockton-on-Tees, a local authority where only four out of 60 primary schools currently hold an Ofsted Outstanding rating. The school itself was previously rated Outstanding back in 2011, though its most recent graded inspection in 2023 saw it settle at Good overall. That still places it third among all 55 primaries in the borough, according to our ranking based on Key Stage 2 results, putting it in the top 10 per cent locally. Its closest rivals at the top are Wolviston Primary School and Egglescliffe Church of England Primary School, both of which edge ahead on ranking score. For families looking at Church of England options in the area, St Francis of Assisi is clearly one of the strongest performers, and it sits just three kilometres from the nearest Outstanding-rated school, St. Patrick's Roman Catholic Primary School, giving parents a meaningful local comparison.
