Thornaby Academy

About Thornaby Academy

Thornaby Academy’s headline Progress 8 score of -0.36 places it well below the Stockton-on-Tees local authority average of -0.11, meaning pupils here make significantly less academic progress between age 11 and 16 than their peers across other schools in the area. That gap is substantial enough to rank the school 10th out of 14 secondary schools in the borough, putting it in the bottom third locally. Nationally, it sits in the 75th percentile, which places it among the lower-performing schools in England. The picture is mixed when you dig into the detail: English stands out as a relative bright spot, with a Progress 8 score of +0.37, meaning pupils actually make above-average progress in that subject. But maths (-0.27) and especially the open element (-0.96) drag the overall figure down. The school’s Attainment 8 score of 36.8 is modest, and only 36.5% of pupils achieved a grade 5 or above in English and maths, compared with 56.5% at grade 4 or above — a reminder that higher grades remain a challenge for many students here.
