Stuart Road Primary Academy
Plymouth, PL1 5LL · Plymouth · primary school
36th of 66 primary schools in Plymouth we can score, 69 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 — 7.2/10 against 2,371 of them, against 6.0/10 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 | 67.0 · 57 | 40% | 2.28 |
| Ofsted | 12 | 35% | 0.41 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 10.0 · 66 | 25% | 1.65 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. In 2024/25, 67.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 10.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in February 2026. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (7.2 out of 10 against similar schools, 6.0 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join football, tennis, and rugby clubs, participate in swimming and the Plymouth Half Marathon, and visit Porsham Farm in Year 5. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 186 pupils in a capacity of 210 places, leaving 24 spare spots. This means the school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. With 24 places remaining, how quickly do new places fill up during the academic year? Since there is no breakfast club, what are the earliest drop-off times for parents who need early care? How does the school support pupils who are not yet meeting the expected standard in maths?
