Check the area around this school
151st of 217 primary schools in Staffordshire we can score, 310 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 — 3.9/10 against 1,550 of them, against 3.3/10 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 | 63.0 · 46 | 40% | 1.85 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 0.0 · 10 | 25% | 0.26 |
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 Stoneydelph Primary School
Overview
Stoneydelph Primary School is judged as ‘Good’ across all inspection categories, including the quality of education, behaviour, and leadership. The report describes a school where pupils ‘flourish’ due to high-quality education, strong staff relationships, and a broad enrichment offer. Leaders have driven ‘vast improvement’ since the previous inspection, creating an environment where pupils are polite, well-mannered, and eager to learn.
Strengths
- The curriculum is ‘ambitious’ with careful consideration given to content sequencing and teaching methods, including strategies like ‘recapping, recalling and remembering’ to aid long-term retention.
- Reading is a significant strength; pupils develop into ‘fluent and confident readers’ through systematic teaching from Nursery, supported by incentives like the ‘reading raffle’.
- Staff are ‘experts in the subjects they teach’ and effectively adapt lessons to address misconceptions, ensuring most pupils progress well.
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) receive tailored support and are ‘well prepared for their next stages’.
- Personal, social and health education is ‘well structured’, covering safety, social media dangers, and consent.
Areas to improve
- Some pupils who grasp concepts quickly are ‘not always given opportunities to deepen their understanding further’, meaning they sometimes find work ‘too easy’ and do not make the progress they could.
Safeguarding
The report states that ‘the arrangements for safeguarding are effective’.
