Check the area around this school
11th 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.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 8.1/10 against 4,049 of them, against 8.4/10 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 | 78.0 · 84 | 40% | 3.36 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 15.0 · 84 | 25% | 2.09 |
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 Oak Tree Primary School
Overview
Oak Tree Primary School continues to be a good school, where pupils feel a strong sense of belonging and are "well cared for and safe." The institution maintains high academic aspirations, with a carefully redesigned curriculum that builds knowledge securely from the early years to Year 6.
Strengths
- Pupils demonstrate excellent behaviour, treating each other with "kindness and respect" and requiring few sanctions.
- Teachers possess strong subject knowledge and present information in "interesting and engaging ways," ensuring pupils revisit learning to build understanding over time.
- Reading is a prime focus, with children developing fluency and a "passion for reading" through well-chosen texts and a well-stocked library.
- Pupils with special educational needs and disabilities are identified and supported very well, with teachers adapting tasks effectively.
- The school fosters positive community attitudes, with pupils engaging in charity work and developing an appreciation of diverse communities.
Areas to improve
- In a small number of subjects, assessment information is not used effectively to improve teaching or secure pupils’ understanding, requiring strengthened assessment procedures.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with an open and positive culture that puts pupils’ interests first.
