Lane End Primary School
About Lane End Primary School
Lane End Primary School in Stockport holds a Good rating from Ofsted following its most recent graded inspection in 2019, and a subsequent ungraded visit in 2024 confirmed the school remains Good. The inspection report paints a more nuanced picture, however: while overall effectiveness, quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, and leadership and management are all rated Good, the early years provision and personal development are both judged Outstanding. On the key academic metric for primary schools — the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths — Lane End achieved 77% in the 2023/24 academic year. That figure sits well above the Stockport local authority average of 62% and places the school 14th out of 67 primary schools in the borough, comfortably inside the top 25% nationally.
