About Callowell Primary School
Callowell Primary School in Stroud received an Inadequate rating from Ofsted in its most recent graded inspection in October 2022, a downgrade from its previous Requires Improvement judgement in 2019. The inspection found leadership and management, quality of education, and early years provision all Inadequate, while personal development and behaviour and attitudes were rated Requires Improvement. On the key academic metric for primary schools, just 56% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined at Key Stage 2 in the 2023/24 academic year. That is three percentage points below the Gloucestershire local authority average of 59% for the same measure. The school ranks 36th out of 52 primary schools in the Stroud area on this metric, placing it in the bottom half locally and in the bottom 50% nationally.
