Etchells Primary School
Cheadle, SK8 3DL · Stockport · primary school
50th of 71 primary schools in Stockport we can score, 86 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 — 4.3/10 against 3,363 of them, against 4.4/10 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 | 63.0 · 46 | 40% | 1.86 |
| Ofsted | 7 | 35% | 0.23 |
| 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.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. In 2024/25, 63% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared with the national median of 64%. Only 5% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in January 2026. Its position is much the same whether compared with all schools or only those whose pupils have similar backgrounds (4.3 out of 10 against similar schools, 4.4 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join Computer, Athletics, and Library/Reading Clubs. Sports include netball, martial arts, and football, while arts activities feature school concerts and performances. Both breakfast and after-school clubs are available.
Getting in. The school has 397 pupils in a building with 470 places, leaving 73 spare spots. 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 are not yet meeting the expected standard in maths? What specific activities take place during the after-school club? How does the recent inspection feedback influence current teaching strategies?
