Every child who put Rose Wood Academy first was offered a place in 2026, so no distance cut-off applied: living further away did not cost a place that year.

About Rose Wood Academy

Rose Wood Academy is a primary school in Middlesbrough, classified by the DfE as a converter academy. Around 364 pupils aged 3 to 11 attend the school. In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 66% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — above the national average of 61%. That is down 4.0 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 36% of primary schools nationally.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 105 in reading and 105 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 11% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). Rose Wood Academy was not oversubscribed for September 2026: all 47 families who put it first were offered a place. Overall pupil absence was 5.1%. There are about 22.1 pupils per teacher. Rose Wood 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. This overview is generated automatically from the latest published DfE performance tables and Ofsted data; figures are rounded, and you can check the originals via the official links above.
