Rode Heath Primary School
Stoke-on-Trent, ST7 3RY · Cheshire East · primary school
7th of 114 primary schools in Cheshire East we can score, 123 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 — 7.1/10 against 4,312 of them, against 7.4/10 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 | 84.0 · 93 | 40% | 3.72 |
| Ofsted | 96 | 35% | 3.37 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 6.0 · 45 | 25% | 1.12 |
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, 84.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 6.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Outstanding in May 2024. 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 (7.1 out of 10 against similar schools, 7.4 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join art, foreign languages, gardening, guitar, ICT code, ju-jitsu, key skills, and school band clubs. Sports include football, netball, hockey, tag-rugby, gymnastics, zumba, dance, and cricket. Arts and music features include the infants' Christmas production, juniors' Summer Play, Musical Evening, and violin lessons. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 245 pupils in a building with 234 places, meaning it is over capacity by 11. This means places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the waitlist given it is over capacity? What are the specific times for the after-school club? How does the curriculum support pupils who have not yet reached the expected standard?
