Check the area around this school
100th of 113 primary schools in Worcestershire we can score, 180 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 — 0.4/10 against 2,494 of them, against 0.7/10 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 | 33.0 · 4 | 40% | 0.17 |
| 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 Stourport Primary Academy
Overview
Stourport Primary Academy has “taken effective action to maintain the standards identified at the previous inspection.” The school fosters a “considerate and respectful” environment where pupils feel safe and supported by staff who hold “high expectations for all pupils.” While the curriculum is now “well sequenced and well planned,” historical weaknesses have left some pupils with gaps in knowledge that hinder their progress.
Strengths
- Pupils demonstrate the school’s values of “kindness, honesty, respect and teamwork,” contributing to strong behaviour and attitudes to learning.
- Staff build “warm and nurturing relationships” with pupils, ensuring they feel safe and know they can seek help for worries.
- Phonics is “taught well,” with timely checks ensuring struggling readers receive necessary support, leading to higher standards and enjoyment of reading.
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are “identified accurately and supported well,” allowing them to work towards the same outcomes as their peers.
- Teachers are “confident” with “strong subject knowledge,” supported by high-quality training and skilled support staff.
Areas to improve
- The early years environment does not sufficiently support children’s familiarity with letters and numbers; the school should ensure this recognition is reinforced.
- In some subjects, the school does not accurately check what pupils know, meaning it lacks a clear picture of knowledge gaps and cannot adapt the curriculum accordingly.
- The school must address historical gaps in pupils’ knowledge caused by previous curriculum weaknesses to help them secure new information effectively.
Safeguarding
The report states that “the arrangements for safeguarding are effective.”
