St Gregory's Catholic Academy

School overview

St Gregory's Catholic Academy is a primary school serving Stockton-on-Tees, classified by the DfE as a converter academy with a Roman Catholic religious character. It has 232 pupils aged 3 to 11 on roll. In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 67% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — above the national average of 61%. That marks an improvement of 19.0 percentage points in the proportion reaching the expected standard on the previous year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the top 37% of primary schools nationally.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 106 in reading and 104 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 10% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). Competition for places is real here - 91% of first-choice applicants were offered a Reception place for September 2026 (32 first choices for 30 places). Overall pupil absence was 5.6%. There are about 23.5 pupils per teacher. St Gregory's Catholic Academy does not currently have a recent graded Ofsted judgement on record (often the case for newer or recently converted schools), so it is worth asking when its next inspection is expected.
