About St Therese of Lisieux Catholic Primary School, A Voluntary Catholic Academy

St Therese of Lisieux Catholic Primary School sits within Stockton-on-Tees local authority, where it ranks 17th out of 55 primary schools on the key stage 2 expected standard measure, placing it in the top third of its LA. Among its closest peers in the area, the top-performing schools are Wolviston Primary School, Egglescliffe Church of England Primary School, and St Francis of Assisi Church of England Primary School, all of which score higher on the same ranking metric. The school is a voluntary Catholic academy with a religious character, led by headteacher Mark Ryan, and it serves 230 pupils aged 3 to 11, which is slightly above its official capacity of 210. Its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2021 rated the school Good overall, but the breakdown reveals a more nuanced picture: behaviour and attitudes, personal development, early years provision, and leadership and management were all judged Outstanding. The previous inspection, back in 2007, had given the school an Outstanding rating across the board, so the current Good rating represents a slight step down, though still a strong result.
