About Teesdale School
Nestled in Barnard Castle in the spectacular Teesdale countryside and imprinted with the historic values of the Dales and our close-knit community, Teesdale School is a place where traditional values of kindness, respect and hard work take precedence.
In July 2019 we were awarded an ‘outstanding’ judgement in all areas from school inspectors Ofsted - the highest grade a school can achieve. This judgement, along with our subsequent excellent A level and GCSE exam results in August has accelerated our aspiration to become the very best school in County Durham. In 2020 we were named as the Sunday Times State Secondary School of the Year.
Our school teaches over 600 children, all of whom we know individually. We know not just their progress and grades, but take pride in knowing who they are; their aspirations, ideas, worries, talents and dreams. By understanding not just what our students can do, but who our students are, we can truly bring out the best in them, helping to champion their ambitions and nurture their talents.
