Church Eaton Primary School
Stafford, ST20 0AG · Staffordshire · primary school
85th 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.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 9.4/10 against 4,085 of them, against 9.0/10 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 | 83.0 · 92 | 40% | 3.67 |
| Ofsted | 3 | 35% | 0.11 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 17.0 · 87 | 25% | 2.18 |
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, 83.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 17.0%. Ofsted rated the school "Requires improvement" in May 2024. Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so they are not simply a reflection of who attends (9.4 out of 10 against similar schools, 9.0 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils participate in the 100 Club, band lessons, Sports Day, a pantomime, and a Christmas Carol Concert.
Getting in. The school has 73 pupils in a building with 105 places, leaving 32 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 who need extra help in maths, given the gap between expected and higher standards? What specific actions are being taken to address the "Requires improvement" rating from the 2024 inspection? Since there is no breakfast or after-school club, what options exist for parents needing care before or after the school day?
