About Fradley Park Primary and Nursery School

Fradley Park Primary and Nursery School is a small state primary in Lichfield, Staffordshire, and its most recent Ofsted inspection in February 2025 awarded it an overall Good rating. While the school’s headline effectiveness was not formally judged, the inspection breakdown shows it performs strongly in two key areas: early years provision and personal development both received Outstanding grades. This is a notable achievement given the local context — only 20 of the 308 primary schools in Staffordshire hold an Outstanding rating overall, meaning the school’s top marks in these specific categories place it ahead of many peers. The school’s Good grades for quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, and leadership and management round out a solid profile. With just 120 pupils on roll against a capacity of 236, Fradley Park is operating well below its potential size, which may appeal to families looking for a smaller, more intimate setting where individual attention is more feasible.
