About Lift Anglesey

Lift Anglesey, a state primary in East Staffordshire, holds a Good rating from Ofsted following its most recent graded inspection, and an ungraded visit in February 2025 confirmed that standards are being maintained. The school’s strongest academic metric is its Key Stage 2 combined reading, writing and maths expected standard, which sits at 78% of pupils. That figure comfortably beats the Staffordshire local authority average of 65%, placing Lift Anglesey 6th out of 23 primary schools in East Staffordshire and inside the top 25% nationally. The school also performs well in individual subjects: 89% of pupils reached the expected standard in maths, with an average scaled score of 105, while 88% did so in writing and 79% in reading. Higher-standard attainment is more modest — 20% in maths, 23% in reading and 11% in writing — but the core story here is solid, above-average outcomes for a school serving a diverse intake.
