About Endon Hall Primary School

Endon Hall Primary School’s headline KS2 results sit below the Staffordshire local authority average, which is worth noting for parents weighing up options. In the 2023/24 academic year, 59% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with the LA average of 65%. That places the school 134th out of 308 primary schools in the county, and 12th out of 19 in the Staffordshire Moorlands district — a middle-of-the-pack position locally. The school’s ranking percentile of 63% nationally means it performs broadly in line with the national median, but the gap to the LA average suggests there are stronger-performing primaries nearby. For context, the nearest Outstanding-rated school, St Luke’s CofE Academy Endon, is just half a kilometre away, so families in this area have a high-performing alternative within walking distance.

Digging into the detail, Endon Hall’s reading and writing scores are its relative strengths. 75% of pupils met the expected standard in both reading and writing, and average reading scaled score was 106. Maths was slightly weaker, with 78% reaching the expected standard and an average scaled score of 104. The proportion achieving the higher standard in reading, writing and maths combined was just 9%, which is modest. The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection, an ungraded visit in November 2021, confirmed it “remains Good” — the same overall effectiveness rating it received in its previous graded inspection in 2012. Leadership and management were also judged Good. The school has held a Good rating across both its recent inspections, with no outstanding grades on record. For parents focused on academic outcomes, the data suggests a solid but not exceptional performance, with room for improvement particularly in maths at the higher level.

Endon Hall is a smaller-than-average primary with 187 pupils against a capacity of 210, and it offers nursery provision for children from age two. The school is oversubscribed: for 2025/26 entry, it received 39 applications for 21 places, with 20 first-preference offers made — a ratio of 1.86 applicants per place. Facilities include a gymnasium, sports hall, sensory room, playing fields and a chapel, and the school runs clubs in art, film, drama and coding. Sports on offer include rounders, gymnastics, athletics, football and netball. The school’s SEND provisions cover specific learning difficulties including dyslexia, moderate learning difficulty, social emotional and mental health needs, speech language and communication needs, and autistic spectrum disorder. With a free school meals rate of just 7%, the intake is less disadvantaged than many local primaries. This school would suit families who value a Good-rated, community-focused primary with nursery provision and a broad range of clubs, and who are comfortable with results that sit slightly below the LA average.
