Check the area around this school
67th of 161 primary schools in Warwickshire we can score, 196 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 3,836 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 7.2/10 among them, against 7.9/10 nationally. 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 | 71.0 · 68 | 40% | 2.73 |
| Ofsted | 6 | 35% | 0.19 |
| 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.
Stockton Primary School overview
How it's doing
In 2024/25, 71.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 24.0%, against a national median of 7%. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 7.2 out of 10 among them, against 7.9 out of 10 nationally. The most recent inspection took place in May 2026 under the new report-card framework, which grades each area separately and gives no overall grade.
Beyond the classroom
Pupils can join a Fossils club and participate in an Arts Festival. The school provides both a breakfast club and an after-school club for wraparound care.
Getting in
The published school roll is 149 pupils against a stated capacity of 140. These whole-school figures do not establish entry-year vacancies or the likelihood of an offer. Confirm entry-year availability and admissions criteria with the school or local authority.
Worth asking on a visit

What Ofsted said about Stockton Primary School
Overview
The report describes a school where pupils feel "known, valued and safe" within a "caring community." While attendance is "consistently above national averages" and relationships are "warm and respectful," the report states that "teaching is variable" and "high expectations for teaching and learning... are not yet implemented consistently." Consequently, current pupils are "not consistently building the knowledge and skills that they need to help them to achieve well across the curriculum."
Strengths
- Attendance is "consistently above national averages," supported by a "relational approach" and "tailored support" for pupils facing barriers.
- "Relationships between staff and pupils are warm and respectful," with bullying being "uncommon" and concerns resolved quickly.
- Personal development is "thoughtful," with leaders removing financial barriers so "all pupils can participate" in visits and extracurricular activities.
- Staff provide "positive role models" and respond "sensitively to pupils’ needs," ensuring pupils feel "cared for and included."
- Parents and carers hold the school in "very high regard," appreciating the "care, guidance and education" provided.
Areas to improve
- Leaders must ensure teaching and assessment "build consistently on pupils’ starting points" so disadvantaged pupils and those with special educational needs make improved progress.
- The teaching of phonics, reading, and early writing must be "implemented consistently well" to secure foundations from the start of school.
- Assessment and curriculum implementation in the early years, particularly in Reception, must support children to "build knowledge and skills progressively over time."
Safeguarding
The safeguarding standards are met, with leaders establishing an "open culture in which safeguarding is everyone's responsibility" and concerns are "actively identified, acted upon and managed."
