About Etchells Primary School

Etchells Primary School sits within Stockport local authority, a borough with 86 primary schools where only seven currently hold an Ofsted Outstanding rating. The school itself ranks 32nd out of 67 primaries in Stockport on the key stage 2 expected standard measure, placing it just inside the top half locally. Its nearest Outstanding-rated neighbour is Bradshaw Hall Primary School, one kilometre away, while the top three performers in the LA are Gatley Primary School, St John’s Church of England Primary School and Bradshaw Hall itself. Etchells is a state-funded, mixed-gender primary for children aged three to eleven, with a nursery on site. Headteacher Stuart Kelly leads a school of 397 pupils, which is 84 per cent of its 470 capacity. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 17.1 per cent, a figure that gives some indication of the school’s intake relative to the local area.
