Acklam Grange School is a co-educational secondary school located at Lodore Grove, Acklam, Middlesbrough, England.[1]

The school opened in 1952 as Hugh Bell School – later becoming Stainsby School – and is currently Acklam Grange Secondary School (after Stainsby and Oaklands School amalgamated in 1983 the combined school was renamed Acklam Grange School). It educates pupils Year 7 through Year 11. The current headteacher is Michael Laidler.[2]

The school is one of the few in the area that has continued to be a part of the Building Schools for the Future programme after the announced spending cuts by the Government.[citation needed]

The school received a Grade 3 (satisfactory) rating from Ofsted in 2012,[3] followed by a 'Requires Improvement' rating in December 2013, and a 'Good' rating in February 2016.[4]

Previously a community school administered by Middlesbrough Council, in July 2018 Acklam Grange School converted to academy status. The school is now sponsored by The Legacy Learning Trust.

In October 2022, Ofsted gave it a 'Good' rating.[5]
