Mixed Primary Church of England
6.9/10 Above average

47th 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 the 4,295 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 6.1/10 among them, against 6.9/10 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 73.0 · 73 62% 4.51
Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 9.0 · 61 38% 2.36

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, 73.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 9.0% reached the higher standard. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 6.1 out of 10 among them, against 6.9 out of 10 nationally.

Beyond the classroom. Pupils access tennis, Kin Ball, Valor Ju-Jitsu, RugbyFest, Boogie Bounce, Skip2BFit, boxing, and Tough Runner. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.

Getting in. The school has 206 pupils in a capacity of 234, leaving 28 spare places. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who do not attend the after-school club in the early morning? What specific support is offered to the 9.0% of pupils who reach the higher standard? How does the school manage the transition for the 28 families who might join in the coming year?
