Schools in Stockton-on-Tees

The council operates a comprehensive secondary system with no grammar schools, coordinating all applications through its annual admissions round. Families in newer developments near Ingleby Barwick - one of the UK's largest private housing estates - should confirm which secondary catchment applies to their specific address.
