Check the area around this school
1st of 218 primary schools in Gloucestershire we can score, 241 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 — 10.0/10 against 3,927 of them, against 9.9/10 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 | 92.0 · 98 | 62% | 6.05 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 42.0 · 100 | 38% | 3.84 |
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 Stone with Woodford Church of England Primary School
Overview
The inspection found that the school provides a high-quality education where pupils behave well and feel safe. Leaders have established high expectations for achievement, resulting in a "calm and orderly atmosphere" and strong community spirit. The school has improved significantly since its previous inspection, with effective safeguarding arrangements and clear support for pupils with special educational needs.
Strengths
- Pupils demonstrate strong behaviour, knowing the school values of ‘respect, kindness and resilience’ and responding positively to high expectations.
- Reading is central to the curriculum; children learn to read sounds confidently from Reception and use texts to develop writing skills and empathy.
- Teachers in many subjects have "secure subject knowledge" and use regular checks, such as ‘bell time’ in mathematics, to ensure knowledge sticks.
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) benefit from "clear and precise" targets that help them learn successfully alongside peers.
- Governors provide clear oversight, making decisions rooted in the school’s values and maintaining productive relationships with staff.
Areas to improve
- The school must ensure raised expectations for positive attitudes to learning are fully implemented in all year groups, as some pupils are currently distracted or distract others.
- Staff in subjects where leadership is under development lack sufficient curriculum expertise, leading to tasks that are sometimes too easy or hard; the school must support staff to develop this expertise so pupils can secure new knowledge effectively.
Safeguarding
The report states that "the arrangements for safeguarding are effective."
