About Ladybrook Primary School

Ladybrook Primary School sits in Stockport, a local authority with 86 primary schools, and it has carved out a strong reputation. It ranks 5th out of 67 schools in the LA on the key stage 2 expected standard measure, placing it in the top 10% locally. Its closest peers at the top of the table are Gatley Primary School, St John’s Church of England Primary School, and Bradshaw Hall Primary School, all of which score higher on the same metric. Ladybrook is one of only seven primaries in Stockport rated Outstanding by Ofsted, and its most recent inspection in 2024 confirmed that grade across every category: overall effectiveness, quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, early years provision, and leadership and management. That’s a clean sweep of top marks.
