About St. Patrick's Roman Catholic Primary School, A Voluntary Catholic Academy

St. Patrick's Roman Catholic Primary School in Stockton-on-Tees holds an Outstanding rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained across its two most recent inspections, including the most recent graded inspection in March 2023. The inspectors awarded top marks across every category: quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. However, the school's most informative exam metric tells a more nuanced story. In the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 assessments, 58% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. This is below the Stockton-on-Tees local authority average of 66%, placing the school 38th out of 60 primary schools in the area. Just 13% of pupils reached the higher standard in all three subjects. These results sit alongside a school that is significantly oversubscribed — 70 applications for 46 places in the 2025/26 admissions round — suggesting that parents value something beyond raw exam scores.
