About Teesville Academy

Teesville Academy, a state primary in Redcar and Cleveland, holds a Good rating from its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023, a grade it has maintained consistently across both its inspections. The school’s most telling academic metric is its Key Stage 2 combined reading, writing and maths expected standard, which sits at 55%. This places the school below the local authority average of 65% for the same measure, and ranks it 31st out of 41 primary schools in Redcar and Cleveland. In the North East region, it ranks 488th out of 677, and nationally it falls in the bottom half of all primaries. The data suggests that while the school is providing a solid standard of education, its pupils are not hitting the expected benchmarks at the same rate as many of their peers in the area.

Breaking down the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 results further, the picture is mixed. In reading, 55% of pupils reached the expected standard, with an average score of 101. Writing fared better, with 79% meeting expectations, and maths saw 71% achieving the expected standard with an average score of 102. However, the proportion of pupils reaching the higher standard in all three subjects combined was just 2%, and in reading alone it was only 5%. Maths higher-standard attainment was 10%, while writing reached 21%. The school’s Ofsted breakdown from 2023 rated all areas — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision — as Good. The previous inspection in 2014 also rated overall effectiveness and leadership as Good, showing a stable track record.

Teesville Academy is a larger-than-average primary, with 329 pupils against a capacity of 315, and it is oversubscribed: for 2025/26 entry, it received 51 applications for 39 places, with all 39 first-preference applicants offered a spot. The school has a high proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals at 31.2%, and it offers a nursery provision for children from age three. Facilities include a sports hall, gymnasium, sensory room, music rooms, art studios, an ICT suite, and an outdoor playground. Sports on offer are netball, football, rounders, and swimming, while clubs include drama, choir, eco club, and science club. The school has a range of SEND provisions, covering specific learning difficulties like dyslexia, social, emotional and mental health needs, speech and language communication needs, physical disabilities, and other difficulties. This is a school that suits families looking for a stable, Good-rated local option with strong early years support and a broad range of facilities, but where academic outcomes at Key Stage 2 are below the local average.
