Check the area around this school
111st 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 the 3,288 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.2/10 among them, against 5.0/10 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 | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 5.0 · 40 | 25% | 1.00 |
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 Werrington Primary School
Overview
Werrington Primary School continues to be a good school, where pupils, parents, and staff are "rightly proud." The inspection found that the school provides a "welcoming environment" where children thrive, supported by exceptional behaviour and a rich, ambitious curriculum.
Strengths
- Pupil behaviour is described as "exceptional," with students supporting each other and taking seriously their designated leadership roles.
- The curriculum is "very rich, ambitious and well-thought-out," with subject leaders identifying key knowledge and making deliberate links across subjects.
- Reading is "at the heart of learning," with well-structured phonics lessons helping children quickly develop into "fluent readers."
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are "well supported" to learn the same curriculum, with needs identified early and appropriate adaptations made.
- Staff workload and mental well-being are prioritised, with changes to marking and assessment positively impacting both staff and pupil learning.
Areas to improve
- In a small number of subjects, staff do not always ensure learning is focused on the key knowledge intended, which "slows pupils learning." The school should ensure all staff make sure pupils learn the intended knowledge.
Safeguarding
The report states that "the arrangements for safeguarding are effective."
