Bridge Hall Primary School
About Bridge Hall Primary School
Bridge Hall Primary School in Stockport received a Requires Improvement rating from Ofsted in its most recent graded inspection in July 2024, a downgrade from the Good rating it held in its previous inspection in 2019. The most telling academic metric is the Key Stage 2 combined reading, writing and maths expected standard: just 43% of pupils achieved this benchmark in the 2023/24 academic year, compared with a local authority average of 62% across Stockport primary schools. This places the school 57th out of 86 primaries in the borough and in the bottom 50% nationally. The picture is mixed across individual subjects — 63% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading and 60% in maths, but writing lagged at 50%. Only 3% of pupils achieved the higher standard across all three subjects, and the school’s overall ranking score of 43 puts it well behind top-performing local peers like Gatley Primary School.
