About St Gregory's Catholic Academy

St Gregory's Catholic Academy in Stockton-on-Tees was rated Good in its most recent Ofsted inspection, a significant improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating. The inspection, which took place in 2022, found leadership and management, early years provision, and overall effectiveness all to be Good. The school had previously been graded Requires Improvement in 2015, and a graded inspection in 2017 had already lifted it to Good, with an ungraded visit in 2022 confirming it had maintained that standard. The most telling exam metric for this primary school is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which stood at 48% in the 2023/24 academic year. That figure is notably below the local authority average of 66% for Stockton-on-Tees, placing the school 46th out of 55 primary schools in the area and in the bottom 50% nationally.
