Teesdale School maintain outstanding level of education

Teesdale School & Sixth Form in Barnard Castle, received another magnificent report from school inspectors Ofsted, which confirms that they have maintained their outstanding level of education.


Teesdale School joins a small percentage of English schools who are not only rated outstanding, but who then go on to maintain this high standard of education over a number of years.

Inspectors visited the school for two days in early March where they observed teachers and staff who were “deeply committed to living out the school’s vision for pupils to ‘experience excellence, every day.”


The report highlights the high quality of teaching and learning, including for students with additional needs, as well as the excellent behaviour of students and the productive, safe, and purposeful environment in which they succeed.


Speaking of his pride in the latest report, Headteacher Mr Zaheer said: “We are incredibly proud of the excellent education we offer the children of Barnard Castle and its surrounding communities here at Teesdale School and Sixth Form, and I am delighted that inspectors have seen it too.


“Teesdale is thriving – our talented performers and artists delight the community, our young sportsmen and sportswomen compete with passion, our sixth form sends students off to some of the best universities in the country, and year-on-year our exam results are amongst the best in the county – all from this beautiful, rural corner of County Durham!


“I’d like to thank our dedicated staff, our fabulous students and the wider local community for their support – this accolade belongs to us all.”


Chair of Governors, Lindsay Haggis, added:

“We are all very proud of the staff and students at Teesdale who have upheld the highest standards of education and exam results for many years now. Their commitment to excellence continues to shine and we all look forward to building on this strong foundation for years to come.”
