42nd 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 the 3,379 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.9/10 among them, against 3.4/10 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 | 56.0 · 30 | 40% | 1.18 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 5.0 · 40 | 25% | 1.00 |
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 Cheadle Village Primary School
Overview
Cheadle Primary School continues to be a good school, where pupils enjoy their education and feel safe. Leaders maintain high ambitions for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) and disadvantaged pupils, fostering a strong community feel. The school provides a calm, well-ordered environment that supports effective learning and positive behaviour.
Strengths
- Leaders have built an ambitious curriculum with well-ordered steps, ensuring pupils build on prior knowledge and achieve well.
- Phonics teaching is systematic and effective, with most pupils reading fluently and confidently by the end of key stage 1.
- Staff provide strong academic, social, and emotional support, particularly for pupils with SEND, who enjoy the same learning opportunities as their peers.
- Pupils behave well, are polite, and have a developed understanding of diversity, children’s rights, and personal responsibility.
- Governors work productively with leaders, and parents value the supportive help and responsive communication from staff.
Areas to improve
- In some subjects, teachers do not have a precise enough understanding of the knowledge and skills pupils have developed.
- Leaders should ensure teachers gather sufficient information in these subjects to identify and address gaps in learning so pupils can catch up.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with clear recruitment processes, up-to-date staff training, and strong relationships with families and agencies to secure help for those at risk.
