73rd of 104 primary schools in Liverpool we can score, 114 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 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 5.9/10 against 1,607 of them, against 4.7/10 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 | 57.0 · 32 | 40% | 1.29 |
| Ofsted | 12 | 35% | 0.40 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 11.0 · 71 | 25% | 1.77 |
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 Stockton Wood Community Primary School
Overview
The inspection found that safeguarding standards are met, with leaders establishing an open culture where concerns are actively managed. The school delivers a "strong standard" in personal development and wellbeing, while achievement, attendance, behaviour, curriculum, early years, inclusion, and leadership all meet the "expected standard."
Strengths
- Leaders "skilfully tailor" the personal, social and health education programme, ensuring pupils have a "secure understanding of world religions" and fundamental British values.
- The school provides "highly effective pastoral support," helping pupils become "confident and resilient" through strategies for wellbeing and online safety.
- Pupils conduct themselves well, being "unfailingly polite and courteous," with a "calm and orderly" school environment and positive attitudes to learning.
- A "comprehensive programme of enrichment activities" enhances the curriculum, including trips and after-school clubs accessible to all pupils regardless of need.
- Leaders work effectively with families and agencies, creating "positive working relationships" that engender trust and support vulnerable pupils.
Areas to improve
- Leaders must ensure gaps in foundational knowledge, "especially in writing," are swiftly closed and that teaching strategies are consistent.
- Teaching across subjects needs to be of "consistently high quality" so all pupils gain detailed knowledge and skills.
- Leaders should embed high-quality interactions in the early years, ensuring questioning consistently "extends pupils’ vocabulary" and enables deep thinking.
