Ofsted report card · 2026 Lowest area: Expected standard Mixed Primary
6.3/10 Broadly average

76th 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 — 8.7/10 against 3,562 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.

MeasurePercentileWeightAdds
Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 82.0 · 90 40% 3.62
Ofsted 12 35% 0.43
Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 18.0 · 89 25% 2.23

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, 82.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 18.0%. Ofsted rated the school "Requires improvement" in April 2026. 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 (8.7 out of 10 against similar schools, 9.0 out of 10 against all schools).

Getting in. The school has 225 pupils in a capacity of 230, leaving 5 spare places. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school plan to address the "Requires improvement" rating identified in the recent inspection? With only 5 places remaining, what is the current status of the waiting list? How does the curriculum support pupils in moving from the expected standard to the higher standard?
