Check the area around this school
28th 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 — 6.1/10 against 4,058 of them, against 6.1/10 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 | 63.0 · 46 | 40% | 1.85 |
| 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 Rose Hill Primary School
Overview
Pupils enjoy attending Rose Hill Primary School, arriving happy and keen to learn. Leaders have made significant improvements since the previous inspection, ensuring that children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities, achieve well. The school fosters a positive environment where pupils feel safe and respect differences.
Strengths
- Pupils display "positive" behaviour and attitudes, concentrating well in lessons and responding to high expectations.
- Teachers explain learning clearly and check understanding carefully, preventing misunderstandings and supporting pupils with SEND to "achieve highly".
- Leaders prioritise reading, providing high-quality books and a structured phonics scheme with well-trained staff.
- Personal development is promoted well through a "well-designed curriculum" offering diverse opportunities such as sewing and cooking clubs.
- Staff appreciate the support for their well-being and workload, working effectively with leaders to drive improvement.
Areas to improve
- In a minority of subjects, leaders have not clearly identified the most important knowledge, leading to gaps in pupils' understanding.
- Leaders must ensure pupils consistently behave well, as a small minority occasionally fail to meet expected standards.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with a strong culture where staff are well trained, alert to signs of harm, and work effectively with external agencies.
