About St Thomas More RC Primary School

St Thomas More RC Primary School sits below the Middlesbrough local authority average for Key Stage 2 outcomes, with 47% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with the LA average of 62%. That places the school 31st out of 41 primary schools in the borough, in the bottom half of the local rankings. The gap is most pronounced in writing, where 60% of pupils met the expected standard, and in reading, where 67% did. Maths fares better, with 73% hitting the expected mark, and the average maths score of 102 is solid. At the higher end, 23% of pupils achieved a higher standard in reading, but no pupils reached that level in writing or in the combined RWM measure. For parents weighing up options, the headline picture is of a school whose core academic results trail the local norm, though the maths figures offer a relative bright spot.
