Ofsted: Good · 2023 Inspected 2 years ago Mixed Primary Church of England
6.9/10 Above average

49th of 217 primary schools in Staffordshire we can score, 309 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 — 8.5/10 against 3,720 of them, against 7.9/10 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
MeasurePercentileWeightAdds
Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 78.0 · 84 40% 3.36
Ofsted 52 35% 1.81
Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 11.0 · 71 25% 1.77

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, 78.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 11.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in November 2023. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (8.5 out of 10 against similar schools, 7.9 out of 10 against all schools).

Getting in. There are 79 pupils in a school with 105 places, leaving 26 spare places. The school has real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than it is built for.

Worth asking on a visit. With 26 places available, how does the school maintain consistent class sizes across the year? Since the last inspection was in 2023, what specific improvements have been made to the curriculum since then? How does the school support pupils who are not yet meeting the expected standard in maths?
