Boldon School is currently categorised by Ofsted as a Good provider, with pupils’ personal development being judged as Outstanding.
Like all schools, we have faced the challenges of the post Covid educational landscape and the realignment of student attainment following the centre assessed grades of 2020 and teacher assessed grades of 2021. In our most recent examination results 56% of students achieved 9-4 in English and Mathematics and 37% 9-5. This is in line with our pre-Covid attainment. Maintaining these standards is a direct result of the hard work and dedication of all staff. Teaching standards continue to improve and our attendance teams continue to work closely with families and external agencies to raise student attendance which remains a national priority.
Boldon School continues to grow. The school is now very close to capacity; many parents and guardians are making Boldon their school of choice.
