18th of 70 primary schools in Stockport we can score, 85 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 9.1/10 against 1,620 of them, against 8.0/10 nationally. 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 | 71.0 · 68 | 40% | 2.73 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 32.0 · 99 | 25% | 2.47 |
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 Bredbury Green Primary School
Overview
Bredbury Green Primary School is judged as ‘Good’ across all inspection categories, marking an improvement from its previous ‘Requires improvement’ rating. The report describes a school where pupils ‘thrive in all aspects of their development’ within a calm and purposeful environment. Leaders have successfully raised the ambition of the curriculum, ensuring most pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), achieve well and enjoy their learning.
Strengths
- The curriculum is ‘broad and rich’, with staff adept at adapting delivery to meet individual needs, particularly for pupils with SEND.
- Reading is a high priority; staff deliver the phonics programme successfully, helping pupils become ‘fluent and accurate readers’ with a strong love of literature.
- Pupils demonstrate ‘positive attitudes to their learning’, behaving well and showing respect, while attendance rates are improving due to ‘attentive and thorough’ support.
- Personal development is supported through a wide range of extra-curricular activities, fostering a strong understanding of diversity and ‘fundamental British values’.
- Governors and trustees hold the school to account effectively, with due regard for staff well-being and workload when implementing changes.
Areas to improve
- In a few subjects, the curriculum does not identify the most important vocabulary and knowledge, preventing some pupils from learning all they should.
- Some subject curriculums are not delivered as intended, causing an ‘uneven learning experience’; the school must check delivery to spot and address gaps in teachers’ expertise.
Safeguarding
The report states that ‘the arrangements for safeguarding are effective’.
