About Lark Hill Primary School

Lark Hill Primary School’s headline metrics sit well below the Stockport local authority average for primary schools. While the LA average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at Key Stage 2 is 62%, Lark Hill’s figure is just 39%. That places the school 64th out of 86 primaries in the borough, firmly in the bottom half of the league table. Nationally, it ranks in the 92nd percentile from the bottom, meaning only around 8% of primary schools perform lower on this measure. The school’s overall ranking score of 39 out of 100 confirms it is in the bottom 50 tier. This is a school where academic outcomes are significantly weaker than the local norm, and parents considering it should be aware that the data points to a challenging picture for core subject attainment.
