About Bishopton Primary School

Bishopton Primary School was rated Good in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023, a notable improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating in 2011. The school’s leadership and management were also judged Good. When it comes to academic outcomes, the most telling metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined: 56% of Year 6 pupils achieved this benchmark in the 2023/24 academic year. That is below the Warwickshire local authority average of 62%, placing Bishopton 36th out of 52 primary schools in the Stratford-on-Avon district and in the bottom half nationally. The school’s ranking score of 56 puts it in the bottom 50% of schools across the country. While the combined figure is a useful headline, individual subject results tell a more nuanced story, with reading and writing expected rates notably higher than the maths figure.
