Check the area around this school
217th of 217 primary schools in Staffordshire we can score, 310 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 — 0.3/10 against 2,826 of them, against 0.7/10 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 | 33.0 · 4 | 40% | 0.17 |
| Ofsted | 3 | 35% | 0.10 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 0.0 · 10 | 25% | 0.26 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

What Ofsted said about All Saints CofE Primary School, Bednall
Overview
All Saints CofE Primary School is described as a “nurturing and inclusive” institution with a strong “family ethos” where pupils enjoy attending. However, the report states that the school’s vision for pupil achievement is “not yet fully realised” due to recent staff instability and inconsistencies in curriculum delivery.
Strengths

- Mathematics teaching is praised for its “clear sequence of learning” and well-structured lessons.
- The trust is providing “effective support” to help the school secure necessary improvements.
Areas to improve
- Staff require support to teach phonics effectively, as current inconsistency means some pupils do not make sufficient progress in early reading.

- Subject leaders need to carry out their roles more effectively to monitor curriculum implementation and identify inconsistencies.
