Ravensmead Primary School

Stoke-on-Trent, ST7 8QD · Staffordshire · primary school

Ofsted: Good · 2024 Inspected 2 years ago Mixed Primary
2.8/10 Below average

185th 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 3,807 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 0.8/10 among them, against 1.5/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 42.0 · 10 40% 0.39

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, 42.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 2.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in June 2024. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 0.8 out of 10 among them, against 1.5 out of 10 nationally.

Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join Audley Climbing, Colouring Club, Chess Club, Multi Skills, Gardening, Hama Beads, Art and craft club, and SPaG games. Sports include netball and football, while the choir provides musical opportunities. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.

Getting in. The school has 317 pupils in a building with 400 places, leaving 83 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 reaching the expected standard in core subjects? What specific activities are included in the after-school club? How does the school plan to maintain its Good rating following the 2024 inspection?
