14th 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 2,757 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 7.0/10 among them, against 8.0/10 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 | 77.0 · 82 | 40% | 3.28 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 13.0 · 78 | 25% | 1.94 |
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 Ludworth Primary School
Overview
Ludworth Primary School is described as a “happy and thriving school” where pupils demonstrate “exemplary” behaviour and strong relationships with staff. The report highlights a clear vision for pupils to “become their best selves,” supported by high expectations for achievement and personal development. Overall effectiveness is judged as Good, with Behaviour and attitudes rated Outstanding.
Strengths
- Pupils exhibit “exemplary” behaviour and a clear understanding of their role in supporting others’ right to learn.
- The curriculum is generally well-designed, with knowledge broken down into “small steps” that allow learning to grow “seamlessly” from the early years.
- Staff deliver the curriculum expertly, using routine checks to address misconceptions and support pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).
- There is a “consistent and effective approach to teaching phonics,” fostering a love of reading through engaging activities.
- Governors provide “suitable support and challenge,” including targeted strategies to improve attendance for a small number of pupils.
Areas to improve
- In one or two subjects, the school has not “thought carefully enough about what pupils should know and remember,” hindering the development of a broad understanding.
- The school needs to determine precisely what pupils should learn and when in these subjects to better support them in building on prior learning.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
