Ofsted: Good · 2023 Inspected 2 years ago Mixed Primary
6.4/10 Broadly average

71st of 217 primary schools in Staffordshire we can score, 309 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 — 7.8/10 against 3,134 of them, against 7.1/10 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
MeasurePercentileWeightAdds
Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 70.0 · 65 40% 2.62
Ofsted 52 35% 1.81
Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 14.0 · 81 25% 2.03

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, 70.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 14.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in September 2023. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (7.8 out of 10 against similar schools, 7.1 out of 10 against all schools).

Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join a Creative Writing club, participate in Dance and DT, and attend an after-school club. There is no breakfast club.

Getting in. The school has 228 pupils in a capacity of 240 places, leaving 12 spare places. This means the school has a little room, but is fairly full.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who do not reach the higher standard in core subjects? What specific activities are included in the after-school club? How does the school manage the transition for pupils given the current pupil numbers?
