Another fantastic year for Team Tanfield


Another fantastic year for Team Tanfield with one third of the results at grade 7 or higher (equivalent to A/A* in the old GCSE grading system).


With 60% of our students gaining grade 5 or better in English and Maths and 79% of students gaining grade 4 or better, the progress Tanfield has made since its last Ofsted Inspection is nothing short of staggering. This is well above the National average and we are justifiably proud of our amazing staff and students.


Headteacher, Steven Clough said “We are delighted, but not surprised. The students and staff worked incredibly hard not just in year 11, but throughout their time at Tanfield. We have very clear expectations regarding behaviour and engagement and our students definitely met and even surpassed these. I want to say a huge thank you to the parents and carers at home who supported us and believed in us. Working together, Team Tanfield has made the school a special place and we welcome the parents of prospective students to make an appointment to come and see us.”


Our year 5/6 open evening takes place from 4:30 until 6:30 on Wednesday 4th October.
