Abingdon Primary School
Stockport, SK5 7ET · Stockport · primary school
68th of 71 primary schools in Stockport we can score, 86 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 1.3/10 against 1,514 of them, against 1.4/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 39.0 · 8 | 40% | 0.30 |
| Ofsted | 3 | 35% | 0.11 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 2.0 · 24 | 25% | 0.60 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. In 2024/25, 39% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 2% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school "Requires improvement" in November 2023. Its results are much the same when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so the gap is not explained by intake (1.3 out of 10 against similar schools, 1.4 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join clubs including Choir, Art, Cooking, Gardening, Chess, Recorder, and Rocksteady. Sports activities include Football, Rugby, and Freddy Fit. Trips cover athletics at Woodbank Stadium, netball tournaments, and dance at Reddish Vale High School. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 231 pupils in a capacity of 315 places, leaving 84 spare places. This means the school has real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than it is built for.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils to reach the expected standard in core subjects? What specific steps are being taken to address the "Requires improvement" rating? How does the after-school club integrate with the curriculum?
