Mixed Primary Church of England
0.7/10 Well below average

216th 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.

Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 0.4/10 against 2,187 of them, against 0.7/10 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
MeasurePercentileWeightAdds
Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 35.0 · 5 62% 0.31
Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 0.0 · 10 38% 0.40

Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

How it's doing. In 2024/25, 35.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 0.0% reached the higher standard. Its results are much the same when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so the gap is not explained by intake (0.4 out of 10 against similar schools, 0.7 out of 10 against all schools).

Beyond the classroom. Pupils visit St. Paul's YHA in London, Harry Potter Studios, The Lion King musical, Boggle Hole in Whitby, Cardiff YHA, Technoquest, and Boreatton Park. There is no breakfast club or after-school club.

Getting in. The school has 197 pupils in a capacity of 210 places, leaving 13 spare places. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who do not reach the expected standard in core subjects? What provision exists for children who arrive late or leave early due to the lack of wraparound care? How does the school maintain engagement during the transition to secondary education?
