About Colwich CofE Primary School

Colwich CofE Primary School, a Church of England state primary in Staffordshire, was rated Good overall by Ofsted following its most recent graded inspection in September 2023. This represents a change from its previous inspection in 2011, when it was judged Outstanding. In the 2023 inspection, the school received Good across all five categories: quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. The most telling exam metric comes from the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 results, where 46% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That figure sits well below the Staffordshire local authority average of 65%, and places the school 33rd out of 34 primary schools in the Stafford area, putting it in the bottom 50% nationally. The school’s ranking score of 46 reflects this performance gap.
