Check the area around this school
14th of 55 primary schools in Trafford we can score, 63 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 — 9.0/10 against 4,254 of them, against 8.8/10 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 | 24.0 · 95 | 25% | 2.38 |
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 Stamford Park Primary School
Overview
Stamford Park Primary School is judged to be ‘Good’ across all inspection categories. The report highlights a successful transition following the 2021 amalgamation of two predecessor schools, with pupils enjoying a diverse and inclusive community where they ‘celebrate each other’s differences joyfully’. Leaders have maintained high standards of attainment while fostering resilience and independence among all pupils, including those with special educational needs.
Strengths
- The curriculum is described as ‘broad and ambitious’, providing a ‘coherent body of knowledge’ that prepares pupils well for their next steps in education.
- Staff ‘expertly identify’ additional needs, ensuring pupils with SEND and those speaking English as an additional language receive tailored support to learn well.
- Reading provision has been strengthened, helping pupils become ‘confident readers’ through immersion in rhymes, songs, and a wide variety of books.
- Pupils demonstrate excellent behaviour, showing ‘consideration and respect’ and actively contributing to the school community through roles such as eco-council members.
- Staff workload is managed effectively, with leaders making changes to ensure staff have ‘enough time to carry out their responsibilities effectively’.
Areas to improve
- In a minority of subjects, the curriculum lacks clarity regarding what should be taught and when, leading to confusion and gaps in pupils’ knowledge.
- Assessment strategies in some subjects are less effective, making it harder for staff to identify misconceptions or missed learning.
- Governors sometimes receive information that gives an ‘overgenerous view’ of achievement, which has slowed the pace of improvement in certain areas.
Safeguarding
The report states that ‘the arrangements for safeguarding are effective’.
