You would be joining a very strong staff team who are determined to drive further improvements at Tanfield. Our School is a vibrant and exciting place to work. I feel privileged to be the Headteacher of Tanfield school. The day I started in July 2017 was the proudest day of my career so far. I’m lucky to lead such fantastic students and staff and I truly believe their potential is limitless.

You may have read our previous Ofsted report. Since then, we have had a significant change in our staffing. Students who had joined Tanfield from other schools, who caused significant behaviour issues, have graduated from the school. We are rapidly improving. In 2022, our progress 8 score was the 3rd best in County Durham at 0.4. We were the 8th most improved school in the country between 2019 and 2022. In 2023, our results continued to improve. Our progress 8 score of +0.66 put us second in County Durham, the third best in the north east. Early indications are that 2024 results are better than this. Whilst we are pleased with the results we are striving to be in the top 1% of schools in the country within the next two years.
