About Bolshaw Primary School

Bolshaw Primary School holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained across both its most recent inspections. The school’s most recent graded inspection, in 2013, rated overall effectiveness as Good, with leadership and management also judged Good. An ungraded inspection in October 2022 confirmed the school remains Good, meaning standards have been sustained. For a primary school in Stockport, where only seven out of 86 state primaries are rated Outstanding, a stable Good rating places Bolshaw in solid company. The school’s most informative exam metric is its Key Stage 2 performance, which sits at 62% of pupils meeting the expected standard in reading, writing and maths. That figure matches the Stockport local authority average exactly, so pupils here are performing in line with their peers across the borough. The school’s previous inspection, back in 2008, was Outstanding, but the current Good rating reflects a consistent, reliable standard rather than a decline.
